The future is now.
So, what you're saying is, I don't need to have any skills whatsoever?
Check it out. A camera that captures all the information, so you don't actually have to focus while taking a picture. You can focus later, with the camera or on your computer.
Ansel Adams would have passed out.

Eleven down, one to go.
November's meat meal was, by far, the most labor-intensive and scary: halupki.
The labor-intesive part: boiling cabbage and peeling off the leaves.
Then you have a nice big bowl of cabbage leaves and your kitchen smells like brussel sprouts, which is lovely if you like brussel sprouts, and I do.
The scary part: A big bowl of ground beef and pork, which you have to mix with rice, garlic, etc. I nearly fainted.
My very first halupki roll. I was so proud.
Soon I had a lovely mountain of them, and they were pretty, so long as I didn't think about what they were stuffed with.
Into the pot with tomatoes to be braised for three long hours.
And then gobbled up with mashed potatoes. A true western PA delicacy. I love living in an area where lots of Polish immigrants settled.

Anticipation
I just realized that exactly one week from this moment I will be eating a delicious meal with my family, or perhaps we'll have just fininshed it and begun packing up the stuffing to sell on the street (family joke) and started to peruse the game closet for the first board game that will be played. Probably decade trivia. Hooray! I can't wait for this week to go by!
I also just realized this means I only have one week to finish up the Cousin Christmas CDs. I need to get on that.

You see this sandwich as you want to see it, in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions.
Dinner tonight was a hot pepper cheese and potato chip sandwich.
This delicacy was imagined up by either Kristen or Alexa or possibly both of them together in one wild and crazy fit of mad GENIUS. You grab some squishy bread, add hot pepper cheese, pop on some potato chips--Pittsburgh style (if the cheese is super hot, go with regular chips, but if it's only regular-hot, go with Gibbles Red Hot chips), and then squish it down like Allison the basketcase in Breakfast Club when she made her Cap'n Crunch/Pixie Stick sandwich.
Yum.
