This is the worst one we’ve had so far and I hope it doesn’t happen again. Thank goodness we have a snowblower.

Eclipse
This year’s total lunar eclipse is extra special because it fell on the winter solstice (^_^). I woke up a quarter to 3, got my camera and then woke Finn up since he said he wanted to see it. I don’t know when he’ll be able to see another one so I figured it’s ok even if it’s really early.
My Little Man
He looks so grown up in his suit! All spiffy for the Year-End Thanksgiving Worship Service at Church. This was taken at the multi-purpose room downstairs, before the Children’s Worship Service. This is the spill-over room in case it gets full in the sanctuary, which you can see in the projector behind Finn.
Spiciest Ever!
I read about Peaches Hothouse and how they say they have the spiciest fried chicken in town. I forwarded it to Jojo and he asked around his office if anyone lives in Brooklyn where this restaurant is. He asked his coworker to buy the extra hot fried chicken for us. His coworker picked it up last night and gave it to Jojo today so that’s what we had for dinner.
Do you know about the ghost chili? It used to be the hottest pepper in the world but is now in 2nd place. That’s what they used on the chicken. It doesn’t look very intimidating here, but i guess that’s why they call it ghost chili. You can’t really smell the spiciness and it’s not lava red in color but boy does it burn! I don’t really sweat much so this didn’t make me sweat unlike Jojo. It didn’t bring me to tears either, close but didn’t happen. It did get me sniffly but what surprised me was that my face was flushed! Like how you get when you’re out in the winter cold. The good thing about this pepper is that you don’t feel it in your nose like horseradish does, and it goes away more quickly than other kinds of peppery heat. No burning aftertaste.
It is a bit pricey, for 3 pieces of chicken, 2 slices of bread and one side. But I guess since I wasn’t able to finish everything, I get 2 meals for the price of one. Not bad.
UPDATE – Dec. 18:
I just had the rest of the chicken for dinner tonight and I must say, I didn’t feel the burn this time. I guess my taste buds just got a shock the first time? Hmmm …
Holiday Concert
This morning was the holiday concert at school. Every class sings 2 songs and Finn’s class sang Oh Christmas Tree and a Kwanzaa song.

Rice Cooker
We have a brand new rice cooker! Ours is still working, but it’s only a 4-cup. This is a 10-cup, with options for different kinds of rice plus, it can work as a slow cooker too (^_^) I’m loving it coz it’s non-stick so it’s really easy to clean. The digital display counts down a few minutes before the rice is done and if you choose the delay setting, that will show up on the display too. Best of all, it was really affordable!
Five Kinds of Christmas
There were 2 shows on Saturday, one on Sunday which was booked for special needs kids. It felt really great doing that show for them coz they don’t get to enjoy live theatre with their families. They say they usually get turned away because the kids would disturb other patrons. Sad but true. Surprisingly, all the kids sat through the whole show without any tantrums (^_^) That means we can do more of this kind of show for them in the future.
