The Nor'easter cut short my plans for feasting, the day after Christmas, on leftovers from Christmas dinner.Ah, Facebook friends to the rescue!I put out a plea for recipes for left over Prime Rib. I gave extra points for the exotic and unusual. I had a little over two pounds left, which was so amazingly delicious, I was not about to let it go to waste.

How fitting to end the year with questions. What’s yours?Matt starts with a follow-up question about the "how did we handle drinking on CHEERS" post:Were the actors actually nursing beer? They were drinking “near-beer”, 3.2 alcohol content, and it was warm. I don’t know George Wendt guzzled all that swill each week. However, the Heinekens in the writers room were real.

It's now in a museum.These pictures were not posted by me. I did not...

Stockholm, Sweden. This year 2010 Lykke Li released the single "Get Some". I don't know why, but I missed it. However, Beck made a remix and so, I'm back in the game. Here I give to you the original and the Beck remix. Pherhaps you remember my post in August. It says everything what I'm thinking and loving about Lykke Li.

I was in the sacristy on Christmas Eve, getting ready for the "midnight mass" (at 10:30, but we welcomed the first minutes of Christmas Day as we greeted people on the church steps after the SRO Service), when my rector walked in.

And I'm looking forward to the new one. It will be released on 8th February 2011. Now,...
