Leaving to go watch grandkids open presents!

Hope ALL of you have a super Christmas and find the joy and peace that comes with the season. Don't
forget to give the Salvation Army collection man/lady a few bucks to get themselves a nice dinner
somewhere. Oh, and put some money in the bucket too!

Thanks
I hope everyone had a great Christmas.
The kids were all here and we had lots of fun, ate too much and
engaged in the total commitment to stimulate the economy.
The wrapping paper alone would heat the house of a 3d worlder for a
couple days.
Watta country!
70s and sunny so we got out for an evening boat ride after the kids
left

Our kids and grandkids are all coming later today. Open presents and then eat. I'm cheating, cooking
only spaghetti and garlic bread and salad (brought by daughter). Kids'll love it though.

We did the traditional Mexican food on Christmas eve, enchiladas,
tacos, refritos, rice with a chips and salsa appetizer.

I made spaghetti sauce last night.

The spaghetti and garlic bread went over very well. Not much left. Damn.

I make spaghetti sauce about 2 gallons at a time. I have some freezer
containers that are just the right amount of sauce for a pound of
pasta so next time is real fast.

I buy the 40oz bottles of Victoria Marinara Sauce from Costco. (Told you I cheated.) Then add my
own spices, garlic, onions, etc, along with hot Italian sausage. Never made spaghetti sauce from
scratch. Too much work. Sprucing up a decent marinara sauce seems to work. Everyone likes it.

Hope you're having a great day!
