My phone rang this morning....circa 6:00am. 'Twas my section leader letting me know West Point is under "code red"....aka....snow day! 5 minutes later, Joe's phone rang delivering the same news. Hareruyah! In celebration of being holed up, I'm thinkin' a homemade chicken pot pie is in order for this evening's delight.

We had ourselves a fantastico Christmas this year. My family came up to visit for a handful of days, where we made a pilgrimage to Mitsuwa (an enormous Japanese grocery/general store) and hit up Manhattan in all its tourist glory.

Happy New Year!

You met the naked cowboy!!! Jealousy.....so good to hear that you got to be with family for the holidays. Did you guys eat a traditional Japanese osechi on New Year's day? Kenta's mom does one every year. She loves the fact that I will eat things her kids won't touch (i.e. anything with shiitake). Happy (late) New Year!
