Diego’s right — I’ve got no excuse for not blogging right now. Except that I don’t particularly have anything to say. I haven’t left the house since Sunday afternoon, when we went to Ruby Tuesday for an exceptionally mediocre lunch. Since then, I’ve mostly been doing laundry, putzing around on my computer, and watching TV. Not much blogging material there.
Most of my putzing has involved using iPhoto and iDVD, both of which I like a lot, though I wish they were a little more powerful/flexible. I suppose it’s all about the balance between power and ease-of-use, and I likewise suppose it’s no surprise that the Mac software falls on the ease-of-use end of things. So not much there for me to talk about.
Other putzing has involved looking for something to make for Christmas dinner for Fred, his son, and his son’s girlfriend. Being responsible for a Christmas meal has me feeling very grown up. Not quite sure how this has happened. Anyway, I’m leaning toward Epicurious.com’s Beef Tenderloin with Roasted Shallots, Bacon, and Port, but with regular steaks instead of the whole roast since there will only be four of us eating.
More difficult than picking a recipe, though, is not feeling guilty while trying to pick a recipe when the front page of CNN.com is this:
learn spanish and read this:

And, thanks, i’m always right 🙂
That was some fast commenting, Diego.
I didn’t understand the whole article (and couldn’t find an equivalent in English, unless I really didn’t understand any of the article), but got the headline on the first try. Then I looked up fosas to make sure my understanding was correct.
It was. Yuck.
Good luck with the cooking, Julia, and a happy Christmas too you. That does sound good, though.
The articles you and Diego posted…not so much. And it looks like Somali and Ethiopia might have a war soon.
Merry Christmas!
