So Good To Be Home

Christmas Eve was a nice and relaxing day. This year is not at all about presents. In fact, we went to Best Buy and picked up a computer game and then Borders to let A pick up a book and called it Christmas and she was just fine with it. It just doesn’t make sense to buy things that we will then have to ship. Instead we just focused on being together for a change.

We made a really nice Christmas Eve meal. H cooked a beautiful beef tenderloin and A and I made this mac and cheese recipe, the winner from and episode of Bobby Flay’s Throwdown that airs on Food Network. We were laughing about it being $30 mac and cheese because of the different cheeses and it being heart attack on a plate but it is Christmas. I have had a craving for mac and cheese for a few months now and wanted something that would not disappoint for the calories. It didn’t. The funny thing is that because we have no table and chairs, we stood at the bar in the kitchen and ate and didn’t linger. I laughed because it was probably the fastest Christmas dinner we have ever had. But you know what they say, what you eat standing up doesn’t count.
