Ok, seriously, what is wrong with me??!! Had friends over Friday night and was making tortilla shells as chips (cut them up, brush with melted marg sprinkled with salt and bake till brown). They are in the oven and I guess I forgot, must have been the riveting chat we were having about some soft porn that is on channel 18 - the Latin channel late at night on the weekend. I won't reveal anynames, but it appears that someone is an avid watcher. Just kidding. So, anyways, I remembered the chips in the oven, opened the oven and the smoke came wafting out. Damnit. Then the fire alarm. Damnit. Lots of cursing, hitting the alarm with a broom. Kill the alarm! The chips needless to say were black. What is wrong with me? Could it be simply that I'm not paying attention? or That I'm a bad chef? Maybe I need lessons. or Maybe I need 10 extra hours in the day. or Maybe I need 12 extra hours of sleep a week??!! Who knows!
Went with Barb aka Lewis for our usual Swiss Pigeon (Chalet) for dinner and then a movie. Had the festive special. Yummy. We saw The Family Stone. Good flick. Alot more emotional than I thought it was going to be. I was actually crying! I don't cry. Well, at least in the movie theatre. You could hear alot of sniffeling in the theatre. Good movie.
Stayed over at Grammie and Bops house last night and E slept till 8:30 - that means I slept till 8:30!! woo hoo. Hope he naps this afternoon! Going to take him outside and let him run around in the snow...that will tucker him out! Its pretty cold outside - I think minus 3 C. Very jealous of my friends in NZ, Australia and L.A right now. Warmth/Sun!!
We are going to Auntie TT & Uncle Ross' house this afternoon for our gift exchange. TT has taken pity on us and invited us for dinner. I asked if I could bring something and she said, oh no, its ok. Maybe she's afraid I'll burn down her house??!! LOL.
Time to bundle up and brave the Canadian cold...

Steph, darling-- They sell chips, at the grocery store, in little bags! You don't have to go to all that work (and I'm sure your fire alarm will thank you!) I know if we can find them here in Paris (to the left of the foie gras and across from the non-headless birds with all their tail feathers still attached), then you must be able to find them in Canada. ;)
Oh, and if you put them in the oven for about 2 minutes, it kind of refreshes them and they taste better.
Unless of course you forget about them because you're talking porn again and burn the store bought chips. That would suck...MP
