EPIPHANY - EUREKA!
Welcome 2009, you seem nicer than 2008 already

I'm sitting in my own house in Charlottesville VA listening to Sufjan Stevens' "Michigan" album, drinking Columbian coffee, and wishing the sun would come out. I can't really imagine a better way to kick off blogging in 2009, so here we go...

Today is epiphany day, a day when many Christians all around the world celebrate the wisdom of several Eastern kings who brought gifts to the infant Christ. For everyone else though, today is simply a drab, gray day in the middle of winter with no hope of spring yet in sight.

To break the grip of this post-Christmas depression and, simultaneously, celebrate the last day of Christmas (the 12th day) and prepare for a holiday that I usually ignore, I decided to cook dinner last night for my wife. The only problem is that we got a little out of control in setting the menu. This frequently occurs to a lesser degree, but rarely to the extent that we encountered last night. Megan decided she really wanted to roast up a few acorn squash that we had lying around from the fall. This would have been sufficient in itself, but it continued to grow from there. Somehow Megan's zeal to make the "best acorn squash possible" led her to a recipe that included a new grain for us - quinoa (*pronunciation help: keen-wah). To make a long story short I ended up making roasted acorn squash stuffed with mushroom quinoa, parmesan cheese, and hazelnuts. This was accompanied by pork loin chops with a peppercorn demi-glace and green beans. I think I used up every plate, bowl, and pan in the house, but it was quite good and VERY different. In addition, Megan served pomegranate cocktails before dinner and the strong tanins from the fruit went very nicely with the creamy and earthy flavors in the rest of our meal.

In other news I woke up and needed a good jog to pull myself out of bed and shake my body out of a food-induced coma. Sometime as I was jogging in the country near my place I remembered it was 2009 now... Which is weird, but factual, so I figured I should cooperate with the new year by making a few predictions for future.

1. There is a 2000 point, single day rally in the DOW sometime during the year.

2. Christof Meyer gets a job

3. One of the Meyer siblings makes a major art sale (my brother and sister also make art)

4. Real estate speculation begins anew - with a vengeance.

5. I find myself embarrassed by my ridiculously poor golf game.

6. Another year of weird (but not hot) weather vexes meteorologists everywhere.

7. Megan and I buy our first new car.

Ok, that last one is a little bit "out there" but what fun are predictions if they aren't fairly crazy?! With regards to my current efforts on an MBA, I'd "predict" I graduate, but since it's a virtual certainty, I don't think it counts.

Yeah...

Well, Sufjan has been singing about something I can't understand for the last 25 minutes and so I really should get going. I hope everyone had a good holiday and enjoyed a slightly slower pace for a few days. I am back online now and should be back on my normal blog-writing schedule. I'll see many of you soon.

God bless the rest of you.

Your blog makes me hungry. Hopefully I can get back to gourmet cooking when I recover in, oh, 2 or 3 years. I still owe you and Megan a Southern feast.

Cooper wanted to check access floor price. So he visited some stores. Some sales in the store promoted China bamboo flooring to him and offered him the bamboo flooring price list. But Cooper is only interested in China raised access floor at present.
