we had a very nice weekend. we saw eagle eye, which was purely entertaining. we also had our first full-blown snow storm. there's still snow lingering, although not too much now. it was pretty fun to just stay close to home and watch it fall. and, of course, it looks really nice on the mountains. saturday night we made some indonesian food (nasi goren (fried rice) and chicken rendang). it was really good. then on sunday we had some friends over who made navajo tacos. those were our first navajo tacos. if you've never had them it's worth figuring out how you can get some. the fry bread was very nice.
sunday night we decided it was time to do our year-end list of favorites. below is what we came up with.
favorite book: the thing's they carried by o'brien (norma) and the fugitive by pramoedya (brian)
favorite album: the historical conquests of josh ritter by josh ritter (norma) and give up by the postal service (brian)
favorite place: london (norma) and his office (brian--he has a great view of the mountains)
favorite food: the indonesian feast in dc (norma and brian)
favorite article of clothing: knitted orange scarf (norma) and vintage leather jacket (brian)
favorite movie: john adams (norma) and a streetcar named desire (brian)

favorite fruit: zapote (norma) and peaches from my aunt/uncle's house (brian)

That's a fun list. Unfortunately, I'd really have to put some brain power into my favorite things. I don't really have favorites. There's just too much to list I guess. I mean really, just one of everything. Too hard.
yeah it's not easy. but i like making lists like this. you could just list your favorites. it's fun to go back and look at your list later.
love the favorites - we're with you on josh ritter. i was a little surprised to see that norwegian "meat cakes" weren't your favorite food of the year... :)
