I didn't take many photos but here are some of things not necessarily seen above:






Like a surgeon... sliced for the very first time...








I found it in the wreckage of some kind of weird aircraft. I think I'll put it next to some radioactive material and see how it big it gets.


Zatoichi, the blind samurai!

What is that second pix down and how did I miss it? In fact, I missed more this year than ever.

Oh yeah, I remember now. Mucho prepo para meo.

A bear wandered on from the woods. He was very well behaved.


While in in danger of succumbing to a food coma, it was amusing to see Cookie Monster's 4-yo tearing off after a herd of deer far across the field.

World’s Greatest Cookie, 2009

Start with any sugar cookie recipe.
• 3 cup flour
• ¾ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 tbs milk

Add:
• 1.5 cup of good chocolate (e.g., Callebaut)
• 1 cup yellow currants
• 1 cup roasted pine nuts
• 1 cup of chopped chile arbol (soaked in hot water to soften; for maximum heat)

Roll dough into cylindrical bars and chill so you can slice thin disks, about ¼ inch thick. Cook at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Eat responsibly.

BrendanR - thanks so much for posting the pic of Kiba - and yes, I think she was better behaved than I was around the amazing food - and Ronnie's Old Fashioned.
