On an even lighter note, we had a little afterparty on Saturday, where Dave and his coworker Matt got to recreate one of their favorite scenes from Nat’l Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Matt bought the mugs, they each bought their outfits, and we provided the boozy eggnog. It was quite fun.
That is way awesome! I love having too much but somewhat dorky fun at the holidays like that.
BTW, the BEST mashed potato recipe I found is for Mashed Potatoes with browned butter and sage, found at the Williams Sonoma (aka kitchen pr0n) website
