Antares picks Matt Damon

When given the choice between Matt Damon and Ryan Gosling, Antares chooses Matt Damon. Good kitty.
Antares, unlike any other cat I've seen, actually watches television. When I'm watching a movie, he will come out from under his hiding place and sit attentively and watch the screen. It is very cute.

Two Traditions

Two Christmas Traditions I love:

Christmas Meat Pie. A newer tradition, I can't get over how much I love ground pork cooked in a pastry crust. This year the crust included pastry stars which not only is pretty, but gives you more crust. Delicious!

Christmas cookies.

The MAunts get together and bake many kinds of Christmas cookies in preparation of the big day. There is also a baklava making day. I really enjoy having all of the different varsities of homemade cookies. I also like that we always have a few Greek cookies. I appreciate even more that they appear without any work on my part. A cookie baker, I'm not.

Cute Kitties

Antares likes to be very near Sentinel.

I think sometimes Sentinel finds it a bit overbearing.

Key Lime Pie

The Christmas Eve Eve--the night before the night before Christmas a.k.a December 23--tradition in our family is that we have soup at my place. In addition to soup, I made key lime pie for dessert. Really it was plain old lime pie, but Cooks Illustrated said that was okay, and who am I to argue?

It was delicious! So delicious I forgot to take a picture.

Comic Art Trip: Food

We got a recommendation of the Glenwood from a friend. I had a delicious piece of cake.

Having eaten, our journey to Eugene ended with a long, dark drive back. It was a fun day.

Mattman!

Matt used his amazing super power to locate this bat symbol

(Yes, I am shamelessly padding this blog with multiple posts from a day trip.)

Kid Comic: Woman

Despite her lack of name, I thought this superhero was quite well done.

Very nice collage effect.
