lots of champaign, wine, scotch arrived

lots of champaign, wine, scotch arrived for new year. family, grandparents, gotta celebrate. :)
last night watched "vice principals" in a row. soooooooooo funny and cannot stop laughing.

making beef stew tonight. these days, when i make them, i steam the whole potato with skin on, and then peel the skin off afterwards, the potato tastes nicer than you peeled them from beginning. and i just add the potatos the last ten minutes.
