I had a little holiday party with some of my blogger friends which are now real life friends. How awesome is that? Who is that lady in the window?

Nothing was heart healthy last night. I made these bacon things. they are a water chestnut soaked in soy sauce dipped in sugar and wrapped up in a half a piece of bacon and then baked on
parchment paper. Christina and i even ate some of the hardened sugar and bacon fat from the pan. It was like bacon candy....wrong so so so so wrong. The good news is i
didnt really eat that many or too much last night.

Here is my pork loin roast. I cut it open flat and then stuffed it with sauteed onion garlic chopped dried cherries and bread crumbs. yum!

Say hello to
steve....
kims husband. He made an awesome guacamole with avocados from their tree or rather the neighbors tree. i guess a huge branch broke off in the crazy wind and they collected like fifty avocados. I am so jealous. Steve also made an awesome key lime pie in the summer for our pie contest. That seems like a million years ago. We also drank dos
eqius dark....you know because we are the most interesting people in the world.

Favorite picture of the night of
christina. D
ont worry no one will recognise you on the street. She brought cider and chocolate and cheesecake. T
hats why we love her...you know for the food.

Here is the pork again. this time you can see its inner swirl of goodness. We were all talking so much i forgot to cook the green beans. What a nerd, right? So we had pork and mashed potatoes and wine.

Here is
kim and
sid. A
rent they cute?
Kim is the awesome owner of the
etsy shop and
blog jikits. She brought me a fabulous gift that i opened this morning. i have to photograph it so i can share. Thanks
kim!!!!

The kids painted and glittered
pinecones last night too.
Kims kids also collected some extra sticks and rocks for everyone to paint. They were a hot a mess but they had a great time and
thats all that counts right.

Here they are all cleaned up and eating their dinner with little tiny glass bottled coca colas. Such a a joyous time last night...it makes up for everything else that has gone wrong. Hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far!
