The beef is what we were missing last night. Drake's home-corned beef that is.

This year, the kitchen appliance-replacement project disrupted getting the beef started the required ~4 weeks ahead of time.

And so we got a nitrate-free corned beef from Whole Foods. Drake even talked to the actual person at Whole Foods who did their corned beefs this year.

But, the Whole Foods corned beef was just blah.

[We don't shop much at Whole Foods, but when I do go I always feel some cognitive dissonance between the pricey, over-the-top feel of the place and their supposed progressive/environmental mission.]

We still had a nice time visiting with friends. The Whiskey Bread Pudding turned out great. It was from Cooking Light and I am normally dubious about "light" versions of desserts but after a beef-laden dinner I didn't want to serve a calorie-bomb dessert.

Today, however, I am heads-down working on my presentations for this week and next.
