Happy Holidays

 We are going to an open house today that is hosted by one of Jim's coworkers.  I made peppermint bark to take.  It's relatively easy if you don't mind the double boiler method and can give it enough time to set.  The blog I found it on was The Hungry Housewife (fitting.)  I omitted the peppermint extract as I was feeling particularly frugal at the grocery store.  It was yummy.

 If you want this dog to do anything, you're going to need to pay him in the form of treats.

This picture cracks me up.  Jim took a short break to take it for me.

Otherwise it was a nice weekend.  While Jim studied I tried to get out and about, hanging out with my LS and friends.  Two weeks until Christmas in Chicago!
