Stupid Guest Tricks

Our neighbors throw a huge Christmas Eve feast every year. They always have leftovers galore. About 8 PM last night we had three fire engines show up for a false alarm up the street and all the neighbors came out to see what was going on. My wife got dragged into the feast home and was loaded up with roast beef and cupcakes. I may be hyperglycemic in a couple of hours.

I have never seen that one, a google check says is about a boy looking to find someone to care for his donkey?

Is that the one?

Heh.. we got Small One on the DVD we bought with Mickey's Christmas Carol. I'm not a huge fan of donkeys though. Mostly got the DVD for Mickey and for the christmas cartoon with Chip & Dale. They're my favorites!

As far as potatoes: there are almost as many ways to cook a potato as there are to cook an egg. Personally, I peel first if I'm going to, otherwise, I cut first. I usually use Idaho Russets for bulk and Reds for their skins, boil them, mash while hot and combine with cream (or milk), butter, cheese, crushed or minced roasted garlic, a bit of fresh cut parsley, shaved sauteed onion, salt and pepper. I just found my new favorite "secret" ingredient: Mayan Sweet Onions. You've gotta try them. They're fantastic.

A young boy must part with his beloved donkey, Small One". When he takes him into town to sell him, the only people who want to buy him are cruel. When all hope seems lost and Small One leads his master back to the tanners shop where he is willing to sacrifice his life. A miracle happens, and he is bought by Joseph to carry Mary to Bethlehem.

Another great Don Bluth story.

The donkeys I think of most are in Pinocchio, when the boys smoke the cigars and drink the beer and turn into donkeys!! Now there is a female statement ahead of its time!!!

MMMMMMM...that sounds yummy. I sometimes throw in sour cream instead of the milk if I have it.
