Same Time, Same Place

This year my Baxter New Year's traditions got shifted just slightly to make room for a New Years Cabin Getaway.  [Stay Tuned.]

Though the timing was different, the Time was the same:  Games, movies, shopping, talking, tea.  The Time was so similar, so comfortable, so good, that my camera didn't get whipped out until what is perhaps our favorite tradition of all:
Dinner Preparation!

Since Andrea and I share a love of cooking, and since the last time I visited she had recently received this very exciting cookbook that I got very excited about,
guess what showed up under her tree for little old me?

And then, of course, we had to cook from it...We sat at the kitchen table, each with our respective copies, and paged through it, calling out page numbers as we found things that tempted our cooking sensibilities.
Our teamwork at it's finest, we then prepared oven baked fish and vegetable lo mein with ease, chatting away as we chopped and stirred and poured.
The result was delicious, the time was well spent, and the Time and the Place remain, no matter when the timing!
