Dogs up late and a quick jaunt in the park before returning home to fry Father’s Bourbon Soaked Bacon with Challah French toast and serve with Vermont maple syrup.  Blood orange juice, using the electric juicer, and great Porto Rico coffee from Yemen.

Presents this year were really lovely: Sweaters, socks, earrings, concert tickets, etc.

The singing wreath down the street spooks the dogs, and reminds me a smidge of the fantastic XMAS homes we saw last night.

My goodness, it’s so festive.

Bird in the oven with corn bread, walnut, and rice stuffing.

And you know what that means.
