My Christmas present is the peace of mind that all my files are now backed up on the massive cloud that is Google Drive. Etta and I ate Lucia’s ham and cheese empanadas and Hoosier Mama ginger cream pie. We watched Chris Schlesinger and Doc Willoughby grill quahogs in the chef’s backyard , and 2 Michelin star cooking on Master Chef Professional. The day was capped with a beautiful, optimistic late December sunset.
