12-10-12 to 12-16-12, and Christmas

12/10 Monday - Roast Beef Dipper sandwiches

12/11 Tuesday  - Costco pizza with added pepperoni and fresh basil from backyard, fried
 rice for Tom - then, later made homemade chocolate chip cookies, my first attempt ever.  They came out pretty good!

12/12  Wednesday -  broiled Chicken (perdue premarinated breasts), rice, broccoli  (I'm usually a griller, this was the first time I used the broiler by myself - yeah, kind of sad, but I do like the grill a lot better!!

12/13 Thursday - spaghetti and meatballs with pepperoni mixed into sauce (andy loved this), I love spaghetti night.  The old pot we used to have for spaghetti is gone, but I had this huge pot that I originally bought for making beer.  It was way too big but is kind of fun in a way.  Nice having some new rituals.

12/14  Friday - Domino's pizza ( whoops )

12/15  Saturday - Grillmaster night - new york strip (it was on sale, about same price as sirloin), homemade cherry soda, grilled asparagus, rice, fruit salad  (had a friend of one of the kids over for dinner)

12/16  Outback Steak  house

12/18 - Special night out with the kids for my birthday, parents treated us to Bonefish which I had picked then we stopped back at the house for cake before I took the kids back to the apartment

12/25 - My first ever Christmas dinner cooked and served by me.  My parents originally wanted us to come over but I wanted to let the kids spend as much time at home for Christmas as possible.  I cooked filet mignon for myself and the kids, lobster tails for all of us, and portobello mushrooms for my parents, along with grilled asparagus and roasted potatoes with rosemary.   My parents brought some bread, salad, and dessert.  I also picked out a bottle of Rioja with dinner and some

12/26 - we didn't do too much today besides relaxing.  For dinner it was assorted leftovers.
