I decorated our house a week ago, and am really enjoying a calm and cozy Christmas season. It's the first time in a few years that we haven't had a construction or painting project - or some family or work drama to conflict with holiday enjoyment.
Right now, I'm diggin' on the Carpenters' "Close to You" special on KQED. Funny enough, our first Christmas in our house, the same special was on while I decorated our tree.
Sounds great. We're looking forward to a quiet and uncomplicated Christmas this year. The kids won't be home and though we'll miss that, it does definitely allow for more free time to just be. I am looking forward to a Christmas in which everybody is well, we have no serious pending issues, no major complications, etc. Dinner with local loved ones Christmas Eve, a come and go thing at my sister's Christmas Day and then just kick back. I'm looking forward to it.
We're doing something similar - family party at my brother's house (we have brand new baby nephew this year - can't wait to snuggle the cute little peanut!). Then mr. boe and I have a quiet day on our own for Christmas. Rather a change as we usually host the family party, but as we did Thanksgiving this year, we have some free time. We're going to go to the movies and have Chinese food.
Hands down, Hombre's favorite Christmas movie. We have to watch it at least once during the season. (And we own the DVD)
No, Chinese (Koreans and Japanese, too) do have difficulty with some of our pronunciations. (I can't imagine how I would sound speaking Chinese!) One of my favorite stories involves a lengthy repair and subsequent request from the flight crew for a new frying pan. A new frying pan? What the... you can't cook on an airplane (at least not using a frying pan). After multiple queries, my partner got on the radio and told Operations that the repair had taken so long, they were requesting a new FLIGHT PLAN!
The L sound doesn't exist in Japanese, the closest they come is the R sound. In some Chinese dialects they have similar problems with the English pronunciation of L but not all, Cantonese say Ls without any problem.
Goat, even mature buck, is quite tasty and a lot more healthy than your standard supermarket beef, chicken, or pork. Since they aren't raised for market, goats are not force fed hormones or other garbage simply to boost meat (or milk) output. So, how does Lil feel about lutefisk? How does she feel about gjetost, which I make.
Her Swedish meatballs are probably more authentic than anything I would come up with. Does she use goat meat? I'd still be interested in her take on gjetost, though.Goat, even mature buck, is quite tasty and a lot more healthy than your standard supermarket beef, chicken, or pork.

I don't know, never asked her about thoses dishes.
She makes to die for Swedish meat balls though.

He was coming towards me and reaching. I didn't know what for, but I assumed knife or possibly a gun. I was lucky or practiced enough to get mine ready before he did.I was talking about a guy reaching for one in a sheath behind his back. I reached a bit quicker and wisely. his hand came up slow and empty.My knife required a different response. Thankfully, there were no loud noises and everyone walked away.
Yours was in a pocket, mine was being waved around.
Kind of fun watching the look on their face as they realize you took them to the floor. You missed that part from behind.
Something to be said for knowing where the weapon is.
Hiya Boe. How's everything in your part of the world?

What is gjetost? I've never heard of it.

I've had difficulty understanding Oriental people on several occasions the most notable being the incredibly beautiful Chinese girl, maybe 16 or 17 who was unable to pronounce the letter "R" who, as she was packing my food to go, asked me if I wanted a fork.
I had fun tonight! Doc's had it's Christmas party tonight. We hired stand in bartenders and security and staff was on the outside of the bar tonight. Several had WAY too much to drink. One guy, not a regular at all, bothered me from the first moment I saw him. I told security to keep an eye on him because my spidy sense is pretty damned spot on. Sure enough, he got belligerent, then tried to walk out on a $40 tab. Security stopped him outside and it got a bit physical until he saw that there were 4 guys that would hurt him if he didn't come back inside, pay his tab and tip his bartender heavily. So he's back inside and seemed calmed down when he threw a punch at the head of security. My guy managed to dodge the punch and I grabbed the guy and took him to the floor. the way I had him he couldn't reach his right pocket but was surely trying. I patted him down and felt a knife in his pocket. My security guy was about to turn out his lights when I told him "I got this, just take his knife."
The guy calmed down so after telling him quietly that if he decided to come at me he would not be walking out the door, I let him up so he could pay up. Instead of reaching for his wallet, he went for my security guy. They both hit the door and ended up in the men's room. I figured I would let my guy enjoy himself, so I blocked the door. Sure enough, 30 seconds later, my guy pushed the ass out the door of the restroom with blood streang from his nose and into the arms of the other security guy who just happens to be over 6 foot and 400 pounds. He paid his tab, and was escorted out the door. SOB can't find his car keys. After a search, we found them up against the wall. They probably got loose when we took his knife.
For once, we didn't offer to give the guy a ride or call him a cab, preferring to leave him at risk of a very expensive Alabama DWI.
I'm fine and and feel somewhat younger. Everyone else is fine and the only injury is a bloody nose.
Funny that when I had this guy down, my partner is telling me to get out of the situation. He was concerned about the 67 year old tussling with a guy half his age until I told him I was having a blast.
