French Onion Soup ...

Well, I can no longer say that I have never had French Onion Soup. French Onion Soup never appealed to me, I have friends who judge a restaurant by their French Onion Soup, many friends who have this standard of critique. I've even seen Alton Brown's episode all about French Onion Soup, but never had the urge to try it.

Last night Allison and I had dinner with Neil and Andrea at their place. Andrea made a fantastic spinach salad, fresh baked bread and French Onion Soup. It was excellent. I may even order French Onion Soup when I go out to a restaurant. Not that it will become my standard of measure but I will be more apt to give it the try it deserves. Thank you again guys for a great night. (Each French Onion Soup Link is a different recipe.)

Neil lent me a book called Lamb : The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. It is said to be a very funny book. I'll be posting a message about it once I finish reading it.

John Heffron won the Last Comic Standing 2, last night. I was sad to see Gary Gulman come in 3rd but I think John Heffron was the strongest performer and I am glad he won. John will be on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno this evening.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
