Dear Weatherman – Thank You for the Christmas Snow! It was beautiful.
Dear Team Wilhelm – You guys are GREAT! Truly an outstanding group of guys. I’m so awed at your generosity in donating vacation time for our newest young engineer. Everyone pitched in a few hours, making it possible for Obi to stay home and recover from his emergency achilles-tendon-reattachment-surgery. You do know that you will all have to take turns carrying him up the stairs every day when he comes back to work next week, right?
Dear Mr. Mahmoud – Oh yum. Lunch today was utterly fantastic, as it always is at your King Tut Restaurant. Mr. Mahmoud, if I begged, and offered to wash dishes for a month, would you teach me how to make your Vegetable Shawarma? And the tahini sauce? And the falafel salad?
Dear Pea Family – You are forgiven for the Great December Bamboozlement. My heart has been captured and She can stay.

Looks like you have an ouch in your house too! Love the design of you blog!
LOL…no, this ‘ouch’ is not in my house! Obi is a young engineer just hired to work on my team here in the office. The guys I work with are amazing.
I too love the veggie-tarian shawarma at King Tut…and the humus, oh my! Even a cute new family pet would love a take-home King Tut “doggie” bag 🙂
Are you adopting that lucky dog? God bless your kind heart!
A new dog! What’s the name, breed and how did your family bamboozle you?
Bless your heart, is that a greyhound? She’s adorable 😀
And I love falafel with every fiber of my being. I make a baked variant (with both tahini sauce and tzatziki sauce) that I believe I’m going to have to make this weekend. I lack only the fresh cilantro…
Mmmm. Hungry, and it’s even for good-for-me food!
