Every year for Christmas, my sister in-law, Rachael, puts together a video with clips and photos of my daughter Zoe. This year was no exception! As always, she does an outstanding job putting the compilation together. Turn on your speakers and click the play button on the flash video below to watch this years movie.

It was 22°F, sunny with no wind today in Columbus… sounded like a perfect day to cook outside to me! Today, I smoked some salmon in my small charcoal smoker. Just a small meal tonight with a pound of salmon seasoned with cilantro, garlic and lime. You can view my recipe by clicking here.
Cilantro Lime Salmon is very tasty way to cook salmon. This variation highlights the cilantro flavor with lime and garlic. The salmon can be baked, broiled, grilled or smoked.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes baked or grilled, 15 minutes broiled, 4-6 hours smoked
Serves: 4-6 people
One of my personal favorites, Grandma’s parsley potatoes are fast to make and are a great side dish! It’s a great compliment to any meal seasoned with garlic.
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4 people
After a disappointing 6-6 season for the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, athletic director Jack Swarbrick announced today that Charlie Weis will return for the 2009 season. Weis’ return brings mixed emotions to the Irish faithful who have watched their beloved team struggle the last two seasons. After watching such abysmal performances as the Syracuse game and the final minutes against Navy, even I was quietly hoping that Weis would be replaced.
Stability is important for a football team. Unfortunately, stability isn’t something that has been practiced at Notre Dame over the last 11 years. With the short tenures of coaches Bob Davie and Tyrone Willingham, there’s no wonder to why the Irish have been on a roller coaster ride. Weis’ return should help bring some real stability to the program and will hopefully allow new recruits to assimilate into the Irish team instead of starting over for the fourth time this decade.
Ace Hardware is working the online holiday marketing with a fun online Flex application called Ace Your Face. The app allows you to upload photos and work your face into different holiday scenes. I spent some time toying with it over the weekend and had a lot of fun.
There are options to create holiday scenes with up to four people. Be sure to turn up the volume, the commentary is pretty funny. You can view the card I made by clicking here: http://aceyourface.acehardware.com/ace/index.jsp?cardKey=W21rgGkYcjs%3D.
