Upon further reflection I think the best places for tonight are thirsty bear and House of shields. Any opinions?

Thank you, Bad Horse’s Filly:
I have the cooking doldrums. I always get them this time of year. I’ve finished with all the holiday dinners and goodies and wishing for summer vegetables and grilling. This leaves me in the long night of winter wondering what to cook… For our Thursday Night Menu I decided a touch of fresh lemon and honey might perk things up. As always, I’ve kept it simple, so if you’re hesitant in the kitchen, you can still find success here. On the board tonight:
1) Lamb Kabobs (marinate overnight)
2) Tabbouleh
3) Honeyed Carrots
4) Sautéed Pears

To paraphrase Winston Churchill, yes, Ann, the president is tired, but tomorrow he will be rested, and you will probably still be drunk. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Glenn Reynolds gets in on the act too.
In a world where conservative Senate leaders diagnose brain dead women via video, it is hardly surprising that conservative bloggers make foreign policy judgements via Flickr.
Update. Tbogg has some good pictures too.

For many people, holidays involve lots of sparkling wine and lots of less-than-discerning relatives. But you’ve got to drink the same stuff they do, so you want something cheap *and* decent. I bought a case of Segura Viudas Brut Reserva (it’s a big family gathering on Friday) and just opened the first one. It’s really pretty good, not yeasty and complex like real champagne, but with nice fruit and acid and nothing offensive.
Only seven bucks and the best under ten dollar sparkler I’ve ever had.

I didn’t go shopping before the snowstorm because I have a ton of stuff in the freezer, but it appears the chicken breasts I put in just a few weeks ago were not completely wrapped and have freezer burn. Any good home remedies for fixing that?
Also, those of you who have the Palladium music channel, at 5 pm there is an Elvis Costello concert.
