Christmas around the world 2006

The new year is approaching fast, get those photos in!

Christmas Eve between 6:55 and 7:00pm - We had a latish dinner. More details on my blog in a day or so. In any event around the specified time, vegetables were being prepared for roasting. So just before this sequence of pictures, CA, under the supervision of DW² was busy cutting up vegetables.

Then the chopped up veggies (carrots, onions, peppers, beets) were poured into a pan with extra-extra-extra virgin olive oil, secret herbs that ML and DW² can't tell us about or they'd have to kill us, were added. CA was told to scrub his fingers well and to toss the vegetables, in a Nigella Lawson manner, but without the undulating or ululating. Once tossed, DW² snatched the pan, and spread out the vegetables on a roasting pan. Once spread out, CA was told to move certain pieces to obtain the correct degree of spread that satisfied DW²'s high aesthetic standards. Finally, a rigorous inspection by the master chef, DW², before the pan was placed in the oven.

And that was what happened Christmas Eve around 7 pm in Hungry's little life.
