Christmas Eve at The Neurotic Fishbowl
It's been a pretty quite Christmas Eve here at The Neurotic Fishbowl. Steven decided he was going to try out Emeril Lagasse's Lasagna Bolognese recipe, so he went to the newly built Super Wal-Mart and got all the ingredients. I've been sitting here smelling it cook for the last couple of hours and it's like torture! Will it ever be done? It smells so good!
We're probably going to exchange the rest of our presents in a little while. I let him open his Cuisinart ICE-20 1-1/2-Quart Automatic Ice Cream, Frozen Yogurt & Sorbet Maker early since he was going to be grocery shopping and could pick up the ingredients. He ended up not being able to find any vanilla beans, so I guess we get to wait on ice cream until later.
He was a good boy this year and got some pretty nice Christmas booty (I just like using that word). He's got a gift certificate to Texas Land & Cattle that I bought him from Bella as a thank you for putting up with her when she peed all over the house for so long. He's also got some cookbooks from me - The Naked Chef Takes Off by Jamie Oliver, Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream & Dessert Book, The Ultimate Ice Cream Book: Over 500 Ice Creams, Sorbets, Granitas, Drinks, and More. Plus he got a TiVo as a combination anniversary/Christmas gift and Cieli di Toscana by Andre Bocelli.
Currently, Steven and I are watching videos that I've downloaded (sue me) and have watched ZZ Top's "Legs," "Hot for Teacher" by Van Halen, and are about to watch some Celebrity Deathmatches. Ah, the digital age.
From me, Steven, and Bella we hope you and yours have a very merry Christmas. Happy holidays to all!
