My First Dessert & Fire!

... in the fireplace ;o) You can't really tell in the picture because the flash was so bright.

Anyhow, last night was supposed to be dinner at my house with me, my contractor Greg, and Tracy - realtor extraordinaire. Tracy brought over his "Flavor Wave" oven gadget to cook a chicken, and I was in charge of the salad (Trader Joe's Pomegranate). Greg surprised us with dessert (yum!) and a bottle of wine.

Unfortunately for Tracy, the computer at work fizzled, so he had to go in to the office and missed dinner. Greg started a fire while I dug around the basement looking for a knife. I have now carved, or rather chunked, my first bird. I channeled Cliff Huxtable's turkey carving instruction for Theo.
