Gratuitous Holiday Food Thoughts

Well, we're the number one Google result for the search term how to prepare Llama.

This reminds me that I botched the Christmas roast this year. Instead of that delicate pink one so likes to see, it turned out pretty brownish right the way through, like something from a hotel buffet line. The best I can offer by way of explanation is that I was jerked awake at midnight and again at four ack emma by over-excited Llama-ettes and consequently not at my mental best for coping with complex equations of time, temperature and poundage. Dammit.

On the other hand, I made (and ate) boatloads of broiled water-chestnuts wrapped in bacon. Is there a finer hors dourve in existence? I think not.

We served dates wrapped in bacon. You might try them and I will certainly try the water chestnuts.

We are off our hamsters and on to bejeweled. High score in the family belongs to hubby, 73,000, but who's counting? I am. My high score to date is 42,000 and it was MY CHRISTMAS GIFT.

These games are very bad for my self esteem...

How you prepare Llamas for what? Bad news? I find it best just to break it to them directly. A beauty pagent? Hair dresser. A concert?

Seriously, I think you all have probably answered all of these questions somewhere in the archives.

Happy new year, my friend.

My mom (70+ y.o.) googled for a recipie for the roast beast, as it was somewhat larger than what she normally serves. I still can't get over the idea that mom would google (& even use Google as a verb).

Folks. Please.

Can you say meat thermometer.

Why get all squiggly over Google (look Mom, I'm all about the high tech, when you can't make a simple walk down the kitchen implements aisle in the grocery store.

Not cute.
