Yesterday morning I headed to Brian and Jen's early... just after 8. Jen fixed a mouth-watering breakfast and we had presents. Jen's mom Jean and her brother Jimmy (from Alhambra CA) were there. We had a great time. The kids got iPad minis from Santa. We watched "It's A Wonderful Life" (in COLOR!). I headed home early afternoon.

After letting Dude and Bruiser out and in several times I left and headed to Patty and Cliff's. PJ and Dave were there. We had cocktails while Patty slaved over a turkey dinner in the kitchen. PJ and I supervised! LOL. They all had dinner but I came home, still full from Jen's breakfast. Put a snuggy fire in the wood stove and watched TV while being a pig and eating chips and dip! OINK.
(OH look, it's Maxwell the Geico pig! Giggle.....)

 
I talked with Kristen, Alex, and Jack and it sounded like they had a nice Christmas too. (look forward to pictures!)  Kristen posted that she learned to make pasole yesterday.
That can be made with chicken or pork or turkey for that matter. Or ham, even.... Hominy, chilis, sliced radishes, cabbage, garlic, oregano, cilantro, cumin, chicken stock, cubed cheese..... lime wedges...... Your recipe, please, Kristen!
