what I am wearing is a couch potato sack

DH insists on calling it a onesie

I think DH might be right in his terminology.

He'll come around on the Tivo. It's a Tivo, after all.

I'm enjoying my 1942 Boston Cooking School Cookbook. Here is the recipe for "Toasted English Muffins":

Split English Muffins (baker's or homemade) or pull apart with fork. Brush cut side generously with melted butter. Toast in broiler, buttered side only. Serve hot with jam or marmalade.

With Cheese. Sprinkle with grated cheese before toasting, or put a thin round slice of soft cheese on each.

Also, at least half of the recipes in the appetizers chapter essentially boil down to "cut in cubes, stick with toothpicks, serve around a bowl of Mayonnaise."

It's fantastic.

Oooh, beth, that looks cozy! I always keep a couple blankets on the back of the couch for cuddling with, but that couch sack would be great to plop into at the end of the day to watch TV with.

Hee, my brother has crashed on my bed. My father is laughing like a loon at "Virgin" and teh daughter and teh nephew have gone off to a local bar to play darts. I can do whatever I want, now! So, I'm sitting here enjoying doing nothing, nothing, nothing.

We HAVE a Tivo in the bedroom, so he is not unaware of, what I consider, the virtues. He doesn't like the pause in changing channels, but I think he just really needs a remote lesson, or maybe I have the machines connected funky or something. I never have a problem with it.

He won't even consider hooking it up in the family room and ignoring it cause he says he can't change channels the way he wants to. I just don't get it.

Perkins - the salty licorice is yours. I'll bring it over NYD.

Everyone else loved their gifts. K-Bug and her iPod, C and her record player, CJ and his skateboard....all are happy. C is off with her mom for Christmas dinner but should be back later tonight.

eta - DH doesn't like his new cell phone either. I lose.

MG, this is ridiculous. I think those are both extremely thoughtful and generous gifts. I'm sure DH is wonderful in many ways, but pardon me while I thwunk him with a stocking full of coal.

There is a noticeable delay in switching (so I don't think it's the way you have things wired) -- but on the other hand, my channel-switching behavior has changed so completely since TiVo that I don't care. High-intensity channel-switching is for commercial breaks and times when you're looking for something to watch; I almost never watch live TV anymore, and skip commercials, and therefore have lost the urge to channel-surf. If that's not the case for Mr. Gurl, I can see how the TiVo love wouldn't be there.

OTOH, he still needs to suck it up, because, hey TiVO! And train the TiVo to know his tastes better, so he'll have stuff to watch without sitting on the remote.

YOU DO NOT LOSE MG. Hopefully DH will care more for his gifts very soon, and if not, he loses, since they seem like great gifts to me.

It sounds like he's having an off day, for whatever reason, and it's focused on the gifts.

Blueberry pancakes.

My sister and BiL just started arguing about the cooking. I wonder what took them this long.

and yet again with the serial posting.

Cross posted from both my LJ and Natter:

I just got a new cell phone, and somehow when Verizon deactivated the old one, all of my address book phone numbers went away. Can anyone who wants me to have either their cell numbers OR their home numbers (I kept most home numbers there, since I don't do well with address books) email them to me, or go to LJ where I am screening all comments, so no one else will see?

Thanks!
