Hope everyone had a great Christmas. We surely did. We spent the holiday with our dear friends the Wyma's in Palos Park, ILL (Chicago). The day went just perfectly...if you're looking for a holiday to remember. We had imbibed a little the eve of and when we got up the first and most important issue was coffee and a Bloody Mary. With the first cup of coffee, the dishwasher was turned on. As we all stood in the kitchen contemplating all things perfect, we noticed water running onto the floor from the front of the dishwasher. All sprang to life and the appliance in question was turned off and towels were spread to catch the flow. After a little discussion, the P-traps were loosed and found to be free of debris. That of course meant that places downstream had to opened and sure enough a block was found, and removed. Condensing the operation, down to one line, we were then set for a dinner to rival all others. And, sure enough, David put together a dinner to remember. Filet Mignon, double baked potatoes and bundled esparagus. The butcher had done us a real favor, and the steaks were of the "melt in your mouth" variety. The bundled esparagus was a real treat, though I must admit that the tieing, after cocktails, didn't impress any Boy Scout. However, in the end, they were a hit with all.
For another version of a "Wyma Week-end" we thank you sincerely.
Now we have a couple of weeks to restore our livers and get ready for the next excursion, Washington DC in Jan/Feb.
