Braised short ribs from scratch is my goal for a holiday meal. Probably veal stock, depending on the recipe and what bones i can get. I hope there is a heavy pot for the braise. Also, i forgot to pack my knife sharpening stones. I was hoping to do a mass sharpening on all the nice but dull knives in the kitchen.

Nothing says Christmas like Fum! Fum! Fum!

Just watched A Very Murray Christmas last night on netflix. A Sofia Coppola directed christmas special starring Bill Murray, Im sure you have heard about it. It's a great piece of work, dark mood and super casting. The bartender was played by David Johansen's alternate identity Buster Poindexter and he did a bang up job. recommended!!!

I would only add that you may want to hold off a little closer to the 25th or when ever your tree goes up to secure the proper seasonal vibe.
