To market

Bro-in-law forgot to mention (until this morning) that we are to bring potatoes and squash to tonight’s Christmas dinner. Hmmm. We searched high and low and finally found a Russian market that is open on Christmas day. It’s a Christmas MIRACLE!

Chicken of the sea?

The tongue on the lower right is what I *really* like!

What do you even *do* with cow’s feet? Boil ’em?

Mmmmm…MORE TONGUE!

The bakery here is AWESOME!

Whew! We made it to the checkout without getting thrown out. Spaseba!

Here’s wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a few Christmas miracles of your own! 🙂

OMG, it’s SNOW! We’re all gonna DIE!

So the local news here in Boston has been hyping the HELL out of this snowstorm, the first of the season. What is this? Snow? In New England? In WINTER? OH. EM. GEE!!!

So natch, everyone has gone on down to the supermarket to stock up on their white bread and triscuits. I was lucky in that I didn’t have to be on the road too much after the snow started, and though I did do a faceplant in the driveway when I got home from the gym, all in all I’m in pretty good shape.  I’m hanging w/awesome hubby and awesome nephew (home for winter break), and fabulous kittens. We have electricity, heat, triscuits, bad movies to watch, a bit of wine… Yep, life is GOOD!

Tomorrow it’s going to look BEAUUUUUUUUUUTIFUL out there,  but I thought I’d start early and take a few pics during the storm. So herewith are pics of the BLIZZARD OF 2008: the view from my patio! (Heeeeee!)

Hope you are warm and happy wherever you are right now. Merry merry! 🙂

Hot in Herrrre!

We’re having a heat wave here in Boston! Doesn’t bug me, as I would MUCH rather have heat than cold. But the best part (yes, the BEST) is the icon on my Firefox ForecastFox:

Heeee!
