Being that my wife and I as well as most of our families are grown, we don't really exchange gifts much with each other. We usually just go all out buying toys for our 5 & 7 year old nieces and my 6 year old brother in law. They made out like bandits this year.

I got what I wanted, though. I got to spend a quiet Christmas with my wife in our first home, see pictures of my nieces in Texas opening their presents and I got to make Christmas dinner (I love cooking!). Corned beef, turkey, sausage stuffing, grits casserole, mashed taters with turkey giblet gravy, cream cheese & olive sammiches, pumpkin pie, fudge and all other forms of artery clogging goodness.

I did get myself a little something right before Christmas...

1 million scoville heat units! 450 times hotter than Tabasco hot sauce. Why do I do this to myself?
