Today's not-so-favorite moments included . . .
. . . eating way, way too many sweets today. "Death by chocolate" sounds so blissfully indulgent until you actually attempt it.
Today's favorite moments included . . .
. . . waking up to the sound of Joy getting little Anna some Cheerios to eat. I'm really proud of Joy for taking care of her little sister without even being asked.
. . . my family getting excited about the gifts I gave them.
. . . talking with my brother Andrew, who's in town for the holidays.
. . . looking through a cookbook Phillip gave me for Christmas. It has recipes from a region where he served as a missionary, and though I can't imagine what some of the ingredients taste like, I'm looking forward to trying the recipes (including the cochinita pibil). I wonder if the local Latin markets carry banana leaves and epazote?
. . . finally learning (courtesy of Phillip) how to crack a pecan and get it out of its shell without turning the fragile nut into nut-crumbs.
. . . noting that Blogger's best spell-check suggestion for "epazote" is "newspaper." Oh, Blogger.
