Christmas Movie Trivia

2020 has been quite a strange year. If you've spent the last 12 months catching up on your favorite movies and TV shows, you'll have no trouble beating my Christmas Movie Trivia . Fair warning - it's not multiple choice, so you'd really better know your stuff! Christmas Movie Trivia   We all get into the Christmas spirit (even my boss, who is Jewish), but no one takes it quite as far as my coworker. She encourages our patients to wear her musical hat, but with one rule - they must also dance. Even the most sullen teenagers join in! As profitable as running this blog is (ha ha), I have a "real job" working for the best Albuquerque pediatric dentist . Next month will mark 15 years with her - I was practically a baby when I started! I've been working on some fun holiday Facebook posts for our patients to enjoy, including trivia questions about their favorite Christmas movies.  I originally published everything at once and was disappointed when no on

Thanksgiving, 2020

Thanksgiving, 2020 has come and gone. Although SN and I usually host a large meal, it was nice to enjoy the holiday with just the two of us. No guests means... Pajamas! No cleaning the house! No makeup! (To be honest, I sort of regretted this one while looking through the photos we'd taken.) My plan was to have a light breakfast of plain yogurt and almonds. On a holiday that revolves around eating, you should save room for the good stuff, right? SN had other ideas. To be fair, this is also good stuff. Just ignore the mess. There wasn't much reason to tidy up, considering the mess of all messes right in the middle of our hallway: Construction! I'll come back to this in a future blog post. Come to think of it, as long as you are ignoring the mess, you really should also be sure to ignore the dog hair. So. Much. Dog. Hair. Olive and Bernadette look so guilty. And they should! We thought we were done with dog hair when we adopted Olive. She doesn't shed at all - lucky us. T

Visit New Mexico

New Mexico is called the Land of Enchantment for a reason. We are a state with vivid landscapes, a unique culinary heritage, and some of the most friendly people you will ever meet. Our sunrises and sunsets aren't bad either. I still can't believe this is the view from my kitchen window.  When the world is ready to resume traveling, NM is a worthwhile destination. Here are my insider recommendations for where to go and where to eat while you are here. Visit New Mexico Best NM Hiking Jemez Springs El Morro National Monument Angel Fire Simply driving in our state presents an opportunity to enjoy stunning views.

Cream of Broccoli Soup - Instant Pot Recipe

The snow keeps falling on the NM mountains and Sexy Nerd and I keep craving soup. Our two Instant Pots are getting a workout. Seriously. This is my third soup post in a row. It's just that good. (Also seriously, I'd love for it to stop snowing. Some of us need to get to work.) (Not Sexy Nerd, whose employer likes him to stay home/stay safe in bad weather. Coming home the other night, I was stuck in a 3 hour (!!!) traffic jam caused by icy roads. It was the same day my XM radio trial ended because of course it was.) I've been perfecting my  Cream of Broccoli soup recipe . That one was good, but I wanted one that's vegetarian. I mean, Cream of Broccoli probably should be vegetarian, right?  That said, this would be sooo good with bacon. Cream of Broccoli Soup - Instant Pot Recipe Sexy Nerd doesn't even like soup and he keeps making this. Cream of Broccoli Soup ( Instant Pot  Recipe ) Serves 4 1 Can of Campbell's Cream of Mushro
