A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE.




Flower pots be damned!

Christmas arrived early in Spain this year (Thanks Mom and Dad!), and the result is pictured above. It’s...it’s...it’s a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker. Here! In Spain! In my own living room!

I still can't believe. I feel so emotional right now. I...I just can’t write anymore at this moment. I need to be alone. I need to compose myself. I need...I need...I need a BIG hunka pork butt and a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon!

Congratulations on the new addition to the family! I'm guessing this little guy will play a central role in many celebrations (both formal and informal) to come!

I also think you owe your parents big time! ;-)

At last! What a beauty. You must be so proud.

Will you be passing out cigars? It's a smoker after all,right?

Iron Man, ChicagoKarl, CuFoo, Ang and Christina:

I would like to invite all of you to Spain for a BBQ. No jacket or tie required.

Christina will bring a cauliflower side dish. Karl will limber us up with a bit of Ashtanga yoga before lunch. Iron Man will bring mix up a pitcher of Alabama Slammers and serve them in cast iron flagons that he fabricated in his foundry. CuFoo will bring a Chocolate and Cabernet Sauvignon cake for dessert and a stack of her baby pictures. And Angie? She'll choose the tattoo design that we'll all go out and have etched onto our ankles to commemorate the day.

The next person who posts a comment will wash the dishes. Sorry Harsh and Hippo Pepperpot! When you snooze, you lose.

That looks like a series of excellent, large scale meals waiting to happen, in style, of course. Wow!! Menu suggestion: smoked goose. It's *divine*, and thanks for dropping by the other day!!

Best, Kimberley

Not only will I choose the tattoo design, I could bring the PBR... it's purty popular 'round these parts.

(Seriously, I won't touch PBR anymore, now that I'm out of college now and somewhat gainfully employed... but you guys can drink away.)
