Pictures from Thanksgiving here.
Christmas was fun. D. and I flew to Maine Friday night. We got a lot of nice gifts. My favorite was a book about the work of Christo and Jean Claude. My mom remembered I went and saw ther Gates in NYC last year so she and my sister went to a talk and had the book autographed!!! Most of our gifts were themed. We had asked for a ricecooker, so my mom took that as a cue and we got a lot of sushi themed gifts: pretty little dishes, chopsticks, ingredients, rolling mats, a cookbook, and of course the ricecooker. We'll have to have a sushi-making party!
Monday, on the way to the airport, we met up with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lifeinlondon for lunch and coffee. It was good to catch up. Tuesday I spent the evening with a couple friends from highschool. Wednesday I headed down to the Upper Valley to have second Christmas with my extended family. Despite having to share a sleeper sofa in the basement with my sister and the dog it was a nice to see everyone. Friday we drove back to Maine and Saturday I flew home. Before going to the airport we stopped at the Portland Museum of Art to see the Christo exhibition. Unfortunately the plane was a little delayed and then we waited for 2 hours for luggage. There was some problem with the baggage handlers so the bags never made it to the main terminal. I left tired and frustrated so D. and I stayed in for New Year's. We watched Buffy (we're in the middle of season 2) and then I fought back sleep at 10:30 and watched him play Samuri Warriors until 11:45 when we switched over to Dick Clark. The bags arrived at 1am reeking of ciagrette smoke, but I was glad to have them. I'm only in town a few days then heading to Arizona Friday.

I <3 ricecookers. They're faster and easier than using a pot, and they give perfect results every time if you follow instructions... Basically, there really is no reason to cook rice any other way, unless you're making risotto, which isn't the same. Or unless you happen to like rice dry and grainy. ;-)
