The Missing Box Shot


Here's the missing shot from my previous post. Nothing says "Christmas" like opening a gift from your mother and finding it packed in a Mole Killer poison box. Ha. I love this. No actual poison was enclosed, just an awesome bear ornament for our bear-themed Christmas tree. This is a holiday memory I'll cherish.

Happy Holidays 2008

Although Norio has to work off and on today we did manage to have a nice, festive morning opening gifts, listening to Christmas music and breakfasting on homemade cinnamon-apple oatmeal. Yum. 

This bottle of wine came from a vendor we use at work. I can't wait to pop the Poppy! 


This was the box my mother sent her gift inside. Should I be worried? We don't have moles.

This panettone goes on sale at Gelson's every holiday season, and it's absolutely yummy. I sent boxes of it back home to some family members who said they liked it as well.

Norio donned two of his gifts, a golden jacket from American Apparel and a red throw that he decided would make a nice scarf.


This was our "before" picture of the tree.

My Thanksgiving Turkey


No rivers or woods involved, but we did go over the hill and through the Valley to our friends' house for the holiday yesterday. Since my cooking skills are as far off as my youth, I packed a turkey cake from a Cuban bakery. (Do they celebrate Thanksgiving in Cuba?)
