Why is there no holiday food thread? This is almost a little freaky.

I made pumpkin bread last night.

-O-

I made tomato sauce today from frozen tomatoes in the freezer. Took all day, but it's wonderful.

Kevin, when you did not add to the other thread i assumed that you "went outside for a little while" like that guy on Scot's expedition.

Actually getting a few tomatoes this year. I love the smell of the plants when you have to tie them up.

Given up buying expensive fancy pansy pants tomatoes. These are self sows from the compost heap.

Everyone is gone, so it's just me and all the animals.
With just the dogs and me in the house, I can enjoy the peace on earth part fully! :~)
No fuss and I can spend the day on the couch in my jammies!
Although, I did spend half the mornin' playing with the dogs and their toys.
I cooked a whole prime rib for just dogs and me!
I made a crust of tons of garlic, cracked pepper, sea salt, olive oil and a little chipotle for some extra whomp!
Although they do like veggies, I was told that they were optional today.
Maybe, I'll dig some potatoes, etc out of storage and add 'em.

The house monsters are very happy!;~)
I should probably think about gettin' some more wood in while there's a break in the snow!
The boys like to sleep off dinner by the fire.
Merry Christmas!

I'm making chicken mole for dinner tonight.

-O-

Happy New Year to you all!!

Does everyone realize BSG Season 4 comes out on DVD Jan 6? It's been in my Netflix queue for months.

Trouble is that i got heaps of other DVD's for christmas and there are hours and hours of happy viewing ahead. Have to make up a schedule.

Recommended is Torchwood. A British Sci.fi series. Excellent, though you have to accept that the hero in the show and in real life is Gay.

Almost forgot about The Tudors Sea 2. That's also coming out on Jan 6. Love that historical stuff! Lots of naked bodies too - some very nice ones to boot!

As a very long time Dr. Who fan, I love Torchwood.
Captain Jack makes for great eye candy as a bonus.
Some of us actually like our characters, and actors, comfortable with who the are! ;~)
Other than the Dr Who spinoff factor, that was another reason why I started watchin' it in the first place.
As a lifelong scfi reader, I find that almost all scfi on film requires a lot of just letting things that don't make sense.
Even the best of books rarely tranfer well to film, with certain exceptions.

There have been a lot of rumors about John Barrowman being cast as Capt. America for the upcoming film.
Not sure what I think about that, but we'll have to see.
Also, as an actual fan of Torchwood, the season ending was a real bummer.
I was really not happy about it.:~(
I liked Primeval, but it took some getting used to and even more accepting of flaws.
It's still fun, but you do have to turn off parts of your brain and just let things go.;~)

I'm, for one, back at the OSF. It's a helluva better place these days so I think I can stay there. GW is somewhat dead.

Have a nice year, folks!

Although I have no current plans on going back, it does seem to be far more of a civil place.
I just wish the owner would've done something far quicker.
Far too late to reclame so many that have left.
I didn't really want to leave, but everything shouldn't be a battle.

Sad that, rather than having honest fun, certain members just took their marbles and left.
They even tried to syphon off members from their tolerant host.
After checking out their new sandbox...
It seems less inclusive, as everything requires registration and viewing photos isn't allowed without passwords.
I didn't even bookmark it.

Saw "The Duchess" last night. One of the best things I've seen in ages. Sure ain't BSG, but it was really good.

Well, I've been a part of OSF since the start, so perhaps I'm more forgiving after all ;-)
The new place? Not a chance! Lol! They seem a bit paranoid, if you ask me. "Don't mention "the other place"", Lord of the Flies-feeling over there.. And it's ugly.

"The Duchess"? I heard it's a good one, gonna see it some day, with My Wife :-D Before the kid arrives... *phew*

I'm terrible about getting out to the movies these days.
I used to love going and always tried to make some of the film festivals.
These days, if it's not on HBO, IFC, Sundance, etc, I haven't seen it.
I'm watching a Dr. Who repeat, on BBC, right now.
But I'm also trying to watch Mecum Auto Auctions!
I catch both every saturday! ;~)
Not exactly exciting, but British scifi and muscle cars...
Well, I like both.
I'm still drooling over that Bugatti they found the other day! :~)
