Yes, Kendall. Almost makes a lad hungry reading them, eh? Odd thing... I have a small blade roast going in the over this afternoon.

This will be the second year in a row I haven't made a seafood chowder or casserole on Xmas Eve... gee, it was a tradition for 25 years! Last year, I wasn't doing very much of anything except eating Tylenol 3 by the handful. This year, I can't bring myself to pay the price for fresh seafood. S'pose I could make a NE Idiot Proof Clam Chowder. >;-)
