Lori went up to Rhode Island to visit her family and exchange Christmas gifts on Friday. I think this is only the second or third weekend we haven't spent together since we started dating. She will be back here tomorrow about 5:30pm so I guess I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it.
I'm going to cook dinner tomorrow night. We’re starting off with shrimp cocktail and then we’ll have leg of lamb (It was on sale for just $2.99/pound). I’m also making vegetables, creamed onions and applesauce. I’m not really making the applesauce, but opening the jar counts as making it in my kitchen. I'm cooking the lamb and vegetables in a Reynolds oven bag and see how it comes out.
Later today I'm going to take the advice of Anonymous and cut slits in the lamb and put garlic in them. I'm also going to cover the lamb with an herb mixture and let it sit over night in the fridge to absorb the favors.
Don’t you wish you were coming for dinner?

Favorite HNT Pic of 2006
King Os proclaimed that this weeks HNT post shall be about our favorite HNT picture of 2006. This was a very, very tough assignment. I spent quite a bit of time going through last years posts on my HNT blog, but settled on just one picture.
A LOT has happened to me in 2006, but the most important thing was meeting the new love of my life, Lori. This picture pretty much says it all. Here's the post.

Christmas Update
Last year I wasn’t in the mood to celebrate Christmas, but this year was a different story. Hey, I even put up a tree. As you can see, I didn’t decorate it, but it’s still a Christmas tree in my book!
It’s one of those fiber optic trees. There’s a light in the base that shines through a rotating plastic disk and onto a bunch of plastic fibers. The fibers run up the tree and out to the ends of the branches. They constantly change colors. The best part is that the tree is completely assembled so all you have to do is stick it in the base and fold down the branches. Looks pretty cool.
Last weeks Lori was here from Wednesday evening until late Sunday afternoon. She still went to work on Thursday and Friday, but came here after work instead of going home. Wednesday night was here company Christmas party. She works at the Atlantis Marine World Aquarium in Riverhead. The aquarium is owned by two guys that also own other businesses and this year the owners decided to have one party for everyone, guests included. They said there were about 300 people at the party.
The party was spectacular as far as Christmas parties goes. There were four open bars, DJ’s, large buffet and a desert bar with chocolate fountains. The best part was the floor show, i.e., woman dirty dancing and acting very naughty. During the cocktail hour Lori pointed out the babes we should keep an eye on because they were know to be the naughtiest. They did not disappoint anyone. There was one young woman in particular that started off dirty dancing with her boyfriend, but when he disappeared for a little while, she didn’t stop. She began dancing very naughty with about anyone that would dance with her. No strangers, but guys and gals she knew. Her boyfriend didn’t appreciate it very much, but when the evening ended it looked like he forgave her and they left holding hands. Here's some pictures of the party.
Lori and I exchanged gifts on Christmas Eve. She had to get home to celebrate Christmas Eve with her children. When we woke up, Lori made some coffee and we sat in bed opening our gifts to each other.
Lori gave me a lot of nice things. The best present was tickets for a taping of Rachael Ray’s television show in January. That’s the paper I’m holding. Lori also found a photograph of Rachael from her FHM magazine spread and framed it for me. You can see the other stuff she got me in the picture.
I didn’t get Lori that many gifts. She wanted a rocking chair we’d seen while we were shopping, so I got her that. She also asked for a valet remote car starter, which I got her, so she doesn’t have to go out to a freezing cold car in the winter or a hot car in the summer. I got her a necklace too. Oh yeah, and a couple of chap sticks.
Brian and I exchanged gifts Christmas morning like we always have done, tradition and all. I did get him a few things to open, but my main gift to him this year was clothes. I didn’t buy them, he will have to buy them himself. I’ll do what I’ve done before. I give him my American Express card and give him a limit on how much he can spend. Then off he goes and I wait for the call from American Express asking me if I know about all the charges on my card that day. I ask them how much it was and then tell them it’s okay. Brian got me some nice stuff. I got a jacket, a new butcher knife, a sharpener, toolbox, some tools and a cast iron skillet. I’ve wanted a cast iron skillet ever since I started cooking.
Later that day Brian left to spend the rest of the day with his girlfriend Cheryl and I went over to Lori’s place. Lori made a turkey dinner. After dinner I exchanged gifts with three her kids. I gave each of them the same thing, a bucket of microwave popcorn and a gift card for Blockbuster. Lori got the same thing for Brain. I even got Lori’s fourth child, her dog Milo, a couple of presents too, a Chihuahua calendar and a book about his breed. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures at Lori’s place.
Next weekend Lori and her kids are going up to her folks place in Rhode Island to celebrate the holiday with them and her brother’s family. Sunday, New years Eve, she is coming back home and we will celebrate New Years Eve her at my place. I’m going to try my hand at making a leg of lamb dinner and then we’ll have some snacks while we watch the ball drop on TV. I’ll tell you how that goes next week.
If I don’t “see” you before the New Years…….Happy New Year and do lots of very naughty things! I know we will. ;-)

Christmas Alphabet Song
Here's my take on The Christmas Alphabet Song with the help of the sexy Lynx elves. Hope you enjoy it.
is for the Candy trimmed around the Christmas tree
is for the Happiness with all the family
is for the Reindeer prancing by the window pane
is for the Icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane
is for the Stocking on the chimney wall
is for the Toys beneath the tree so tall
is for the Mistletoe where every one is kissed
is for the Angels who make up the Christmas list
is for old Santa who makes every kid his pet
Be good and he'll bring you everything in your Christmas Alphabet

Three Christmas Wishes '06 (HNT)
This weeks HNT isn't the normal HNT. Os asked that we pick three HNT/blogger participants and then tell the world what we'd get them for Christmas, if you had the means to do so. I had a tough time deciding who to give my three gifts too, but in the end, it really was a no brainer.
SIS B Sis B had a baby last month on the 16th. Her husband, Soldier Boy, is stationed in Korea, but came home on leave in time for their daughter’s birth. Not long after that, leave was over and he had to go back to Korea. I spend some time over seas in the army, so I know what it is like to be far away from the ones you love, but I can’t imagine how difficult this must be for Sis B, Soldier Boy and their little daughter Sprout.
My Christmas presents for them are a time machine and a ticket on the Star Trek transporter to bring him home ASAP.
MamaKBear and her husband have two teenaged girls and are in the process of adopting two little girls. Life has thrown them a curve so picking my Christmas presents for them was also a no brainer.
My Christmas presents for them is a big house with a big yard for the kids to play in. Of course the house has to have a bedroom and bathroom for each of them and a maid to keep the place sparkling clean.
Samantha Alice recently enlisted in the US Army. She’s home from basic training now but will be on her way back to continue her training and then assigned to who knows where. My Christmas present for Sam, is and invisible shield to protect her from harm so she returns safe and sound when her tour is over.
