Comments (11)I guess I'll go shopping again today. I have to get gifts for my Mom, sister, nephew and BIL. I hate going shopping on the weekend. I gave Madi another iTouch and told her if she loses this one that's it! Jake picked out a bunch of stuff at the swim meet and I picked up a couple video games for him. I'll probably just give him money and pick up the some of the other things that Madi wants. She gave me a list of a dozen fairly expensive items that she wanted, Jake couldn't think of anything. Boys are so much easier! Kyle got a bunch of toys and I'll pick up some more during the week. DH has his eye on another TV. Whichever he decideds on will be from the kids and I. We need another TV like a hole in the head. I think I've bought him a TV or some type of audio/visual thing every year for the past 6 years, real imaginitive. lol At least the holiday lasts for 8 days so I don't have to have everything ready at once. DH surprised me with a beautiful cashmere coat that I showed him a while back. I'm surprised that he remembered. I have the Kate Spade bag that I bought myself and said it was from the kids. That lets them off the hook....See MoreMerry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to All
Comments (12)So far my yard has only recorded 24F as a low temperature (which is surprising since during the fall the night temperatures were slightly lower in my yard, but it seems like the night temepratures are pretty similar to local weather stations this time of the year). So far the palms look good and I havent been worrying about my fig (I havent even thought of protecting it since most people dont around here lately, but if any record cold was forecasted then I would have to throw something over it!). But its true, the wind can cause damage to the palms that doesnt show until the warmer weather in the spring. Hopefully that doesnt happen, so far I have gotten pretty lucky with that and there hasnt been any surprising damage to my palms. 18F isnt too terrible. Its cold, thats for sure, but if its the coldest we get all winter, I will be VERY happy and my plants will be too! I still hate winter, but I noticed that this one has been pretty bareable so far. -Alex...See MoreHappy Hanukkah/Chanukah
Comments (40)Bpath that menorah is just exquisite. So MCM! For those who are interested in learning more about the Jewish Holidays, there is a great cooking blog that explains the significance of each holiday,ToriAvey.com. Hit the holidays tab once your on the site. She also has a tab called the History Kitchen which has classics. Her recipes are great. So far I have made her Kugel. I am in the process of making Beet Tartare Salad from her site. We are celebrating with family tonight. Here is my Hanukkah Celebration Menu: During cocktails Greek Mezze Platter (modified)-which has many of the elements of typical Middle Eastern/Israeli foods -from Ina's new cookbook, Make It Ahead Dinner Beet Tartare Salad- From Tori Avery Brisket- Ina Garten's (my family loves it, so easy).
