No Room at Our Inn

Our son William is home. All is right with the world. Though he and Kimberly fought to drive through severe weather from Seattle, they are now safe and warm. And well fed.

I bought all the food for Christmas Wednesday morning and am hoping that the power remains on through the rainstorms!

Wednesday evening, we all went out to eat some fresh fish on the coast at an East Coast style Lobster Shack. We shared two roasted sardines, Ahi Poke, Clam Chowder, and Seafood Spaghetti in a spicy red sauce. Kimberly and William also shared a Beet Salad and the famous Lobster Roll with its 1.25 pounds of lobster in cased in a buttery roll.

They loved it.

We were able to just sit and talk without having to cook or clean up. Fun to get caught up to speed.

Thursday began the Christmas madness. While I was at the Weight Clinic in the morning, Michael went out to pick up my mom while William and Kimberly Christmas shopped in the city then picked up the meat, lobster, ham, and dessert for Christmas. We all arrived home to a clean house. Love the housekeepers.

Last night, we began to cook. The Beef Bourguignon took seven hours to complete and the majority of the cooking will happen today. All day. I will send Michael and William out this afternoon to buy five Dungeness crabs fresh off the boats in the harbor for dinner tonight. 

We are almost there. I hope your houses are filled with the sights and smells of the season!
