you used to be alright

dadgummit! blowout!

for me, watching the 1983 movie “a christmas story” is almost as much as a tradition as christmas itself.

with that in mind, we had everyone get together to watch the movie and to have meatloaf, mashed potatoes, broccoli florets with cheese sauce and cream of mushroom soup (prepared by colin). it was the first time i’ve made meatloaf – but it turned out quite well, except for it falling apart, so it became meat-pile, instead of meatloaf.

made with some stuff that’s really bad for you. let’s just move on. it is, delicious though.

there’s kyle making egg nog in the background.

table set for 5.

a night of conversation and movies. actually we ended up watching the cable guy, star trek:amok time, a christmas story and fargo.
