Christmas was good. We had a bitch of a time getting out. We rented a car to head home on the 23rd, and the snow kept us in. But we got off early the 24th, and I had a really nice visit. Saw the family, the friends, ate a lot. In fact, I'm still eating a lot: my mother-in-law always sends us home with a huge tray of cookie and candies. Then, tomorrow, we'll cook a ham and eat ourselves sick again. I see a lot of exercise in my future. 
Anyway, things otherwise are good. Doing a load of reading; I'm just about to finish up 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill. It's a nice little collection of horror/fantastic stories. He's Stephen King's son, and you get the same sense of character and place that you get from King. I recommend it.
I've also checked out a slew of flicks lately. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was good, but somehow a bit hollow. Valkyrie was really fine. Quantum of Solace was all right, but not as good as Casino Royale. I checked out The Dark Knight on DVD, as well as Tropic Thunder: both were just as good as when I saw them in the theater. I've also been watching one of my Christmas presents: the complete Batman Animated Series on DVD. Fun stuff.
I'm also playing Star Wars: Force Unleashed on Wii. It's just OK. The story is good, but the play is repetitive, and really, a bit unresponsive. One of the less inspiring Wii games I've dug into.
I'm also being lazy as fuck. I like it. Today, I'm working on a postdoc application, and um, yeah. Just being. It's good.
Everyone have a good new year.

It was a pretty basic idea and one I'm surprised more people haven't attempted. She wasn't sure if she saw it somewhere or dreamt about it. She made stuffing mix (from scratch) and put a bunch of it in a cupcake/muffin tin. Then she baked it up. We all nervously took our first bites, not knowing if this would work or not. It did. One of the best part of stuffing (for me) is the crispy part. These were crispy all the way around.
They were even better a few days later. Sometimes it's the simple stuff that works so well.
Now, as far as getting the recipe for her stuffing...good luck.
Is scalloped corn like scalloped potatoes?
Happy New Year!!
