Jook is slowly cooking on the stove. The current version has a dashi soup base, lots of shiitake mushrooms and some jalapeno sausage. Debating on whether to make it fishier by adding those dried wee fishes.

Need to go to the post awful soon - otherwise the Christmas gifts will become New Year's gifts - though my excuse is that I'm Buddhist so that actually works *g*

Kidlets tonight. Probably dinner at Applebee's (Alani's current favorite) or Kamakura's.

K & I will go hit the Farmer's Market and then do major shopping later. Toys R Us on the Saturday before Xmas. Oh boy.

Need to order prime rib roast for Christmas Eve. Christmas Day will be spent with cousins on Dad's side of the family. Ooh... have to pick up gift cards for "younger cousins". Allison is now 26.

Passed my Perl class with a 96/100. Yay! Go Me!

I see much laundry in my future.
