But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever.

Ground up an 1/8 cup of pumpkin seeds and dumped that into a frying pan which in which I was sautéeing half a very thinly sliced yellow onion. Sprinkled the entire mixture with red curry & chili power and added a handful of fresh sprouts. Once that mixture was tender I whipped it up in some eggs for breakfast. C'est Manifique!

Watched The Soprans Season 4 in two sittings at my in-laws while we were away. Yesterday, being our first Friday night back, and with no BSG to keep us occupied, we rented Disc 1 of The Sopranos Season 5 with [livejournal.com profile] galinda822 who had come over for a gift exchange with the children. My wife had created a gorgeous herb salad with a side of jasmine rice she cooked with organic coconut and graded orange peel. We washed dinner down with a bottle of Kansan Spätlese.

I took the kids to Borders where they each picked out two books from the gift cards galinda gave them (in addition to Polly Pocket & Power Rangers toys - can you say 'spoiled?') then on to galinda's to hook up the surround sound system she rec'd for Xmas. I got all the cabling laid out, thread everything through and built speaker stands. Plugged everything in only to discover her Dish is using the coax as its default output in place of the component connections, and I couldn't figure out how to force the DVR to swap outputs, so I've left that project for the weekend after [livejournal.com profile] photogoot is here.

Came home and finally watched Disc 1 of The Godfather DVD Collection. It was good. Better than I remembered. Can't wait to get to the third one, though. I have that one on laserdisc, but this will be the first time I've seen it on DVD.

Its much too late for me to still be awake.

You sir are a hipster dufus.
I'll take that as a compliment.


...my considerable experience co-engineering the “Tower Of Power” with Mr. H.
Someone will have to tell me that story sometime.


...will be quickly resolved...without my aid...
I am sad to hear that your expirences as a Program Manager will not be useful nor employed on this task. I shall shed a single tear for you.


I do not know Galinda882 well enough to spend time on my back in her living room!
Apparently, Howton does and if I understand the story correctly, did so on his first evening in STL.
