Xmas dinner

Ugh. Too much food and too much drink. Party of 12 in the east village:

Lots of champagne. Several appetizers: chicken liver and hazelnut terrine, Pork rillette, ham and Roquefort loaf; scallop, red pepper, and basil mousse like bread-shaped thingie; cheese (mixed with something) on toast put in the oven (very nice grilled cheese); chopped clam and mushrooms (I think) on toast.

More champagne.

Caesar Salad, Goose, Brussel sprouts, rutabaga, cranberry sauce, bulgar rice stuffing, wine wine wine. And the most amazing home made duck sausage.

Sweet potato (homemade) pie and Pecan pie (bought) home made whipped cream, Italian cookies, home made brownies, and after dinner liqueurs, coffee.

Home and tums and lots of water.

Edited slightly in the morning...

The Mutter Museum calendar is back

After not being produced for six years, it's BACK!!!! Yay!

If you don't have your 2009 wall calendar yet and enjoy a bit of the bizarre, you can't go wrong with the calendar using photographs from the College of the Physicians of Philadelphia Mutter Museum. Photographs this year are by regulars Max Aguilera-Hellweg, M.D.,Rosamond Purcell, Arne Svenson, and newcomer William Wegman. Mutter Museum Calendar

It's available through the Mutter Museum online store, amazon, and various other places online (and likely off).
