The last time we spoke, I proudly proclaimed that one of the major reasons why posts were so few and far between during the holidays was because I wanted to spend time with my family. This was true, but it wasn't the only thing keeping me away from the computer. The stomach flu (which is not really a flu at all) rampaged through our house over Christmas break. Wife works at a daycare, where all sorts of nasty germs are brought in each day, and she was the first to have it. Our friend Grasshopper was next, ill on Christmas day. Then Boy, then Mother-in-Law and finally (just as I though I'd escape,) me. So as we all took turns quarantined in front of Netflix on the couch, I wasn't thinking much about artfully staged plates or which angle to stand to keep my shadow off of the onions. Luckily the same couldn't be said for Wife.
