I work for a blood bank and I was trying to find something that captures the spirit of the season and some stuff I like. Blood Donation, Christmas Movies and Vampires. I believe this covers a lot of ground.
Blood Donors But Make It Christmas
Red Wine Braised Pot Roast
A good Sunday dinner that reminds me of when I was a kid.
On Friday night after work, we went to the small mall downtown to The Public House for dinner and to see the lights nearby. My favorite dish there is the red wine braised pot roast; it’s so moist and flavorful and just falls apart when your fork touches it. I decided it was time to create my own version! Instead of the mashed potatoes they serve it atop at the restaurant, I opted to cook Yukon Gold potatoes and carrots with the roast; but you can omit these and serve the roast with whatever side dishes you choose. We had enough to last most of Christmas week, allowing us time to finish getting ready for the holiday weekend.
- 3-4 lb boneless chuck roast
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled but whole
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

A Strong Commentary On A Charlie Brown Christmas
Warning, I am about to lay waste to a venerated Christmas treasure. “A Charlie Brown Christmas”
The girls in “A Charlie Brown Christmas” are really horrible. They come across as bitchy and make Charlie feel like a total failure. Charlie should have just said screw this and walked out. He was treated horribly and all he wanted to do is help. Toxic Christmas spirit courtesy of Charles Shultz.
In every holiday movie including Hallmark Christmas Movies, there is some direct influence from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” such as finding a director for the Christmas pageant, commercialism, crushes, and dogs.
Also, why must they call him by his full name all the time? Charlie or Chuck would be just fine.
Also, why in the hell is it only on Apple Plus. Its a Christmas treasure that should be shared far and wide.
I am going to hell for this right?
