Godfather for the Wii!

Jared's Christmas present to me arrived-- a copy of Godfather: The Game for the Wii. My sweetie knows me so well. I'm so excited for it I'm tempted to open and play it before Christmas. Maybe I could count it as a Hanukkah present and open it tonight for the third night? I've played the PC game and enjoyed it very much. I recently lent it to Jared, and now he's very into it. But I prefer console games to computer ones, so I'm delighted it's out for the Wii.

Why must Christmas still be two days away?

Vegetarian cooking

I need to acquire more vegetarian dishes to my cooking repetoire. I confess I'm the kind of carnivore that usually feel satisfied with a dinner unless there's some kind of meat in it, so usually when I cook the main course is some kind of flesh. But I've been wanting to have vegetarian friends like Matt and Ernest over for a dinner where they weren't limited to side dishes, so that means expanding into atypical territory. I know a broccoli and a vegetable soup, and eggplant parmesan, but that's about it. I know Jared was recently at a vegan dinner that had some recipes he admired, so I could try to learn those. Perhaps this break I'll look into it. It will at least make it easier to make kosher dinners.
