I just had to pimp this amazing shot of the last sunset of 2006 by my buddy Jason.

I LOVE Christmas.  It's the one time of the year when you can find eggnog everywhere.  I've never cooked without eggnog, until this morning.  I found this recipe on Slashfood, and just HAD to try it.  They turned out really good.  Even my fiancee's daughter liked them, and she hates eggs.  The taste reminded me of French toast somewhat, but the eggnog flavor was definitely there.

 I haven't mentioned it yet, but I have been using Windows Live Writer for a while now to do my blog posts, and I must say, I am VERY impressed.  Even better, I now have an extension for Firefox (Live Writerfox) that lets me post directly from my web browser using Live Writer.

Come on people...this is the 21st Century. I can understand these kinds of shenanigans happening earlier in our state history, but now we have things like satellite TV and the Internet to keep us occupied (even if it is for porn). The saddest part opf the whole deal is that he can't even blame this stupid behavior on alcohol.

So I whipped up a couple of recipes for a get-together we had to welcome my fiancee's nephew back into town over the weekend.  They were both well-received, but given that I had only a short amount of time to prepare these two recipes, there are no pictures of the cooking process this time (sorry guys).

So I bit the bullet and installed the RTM (Released To Manufacturing...the final codebase that will appear on the retail and OEM disks) version of Windows Vista.  I was in on the beta test for Vista, so I got a legit version of the RTM release.  So far, everything is good except for sound card issues.

I've been going through my recipe collection the past few days, and I decided that with the holidays upon us, now would be a good time to cook up some holiday dishes, and post them for you guys.  I can't promise that they all will have pictures of each step like this first one, but all of the posts in this series are ones that I have prepared in my kitchen.

So I got my media PC put together today.  Had to swap out some hardware, but for the most part, everything worked great.  There's still a few things to fix up software-wise, but the basics of what I wanted it to do (play videos, music, etc) are working great.  There were a few moments when I was severely pissed because all I could get on the TV was a black and white display, but a change of cables remedied that problem.

So yeah.  It looks like everything is now functional again.  There were a few hours there where my RSS feed wasn't working, but that should be fine now.  The biggest pain in the ass however was figuring out how to change A records on DNS entries on my 1&1 webspace (an A record is what tells your computer that the server for xyz.
