I meant to mention this before, but the holidays have a way of distracting one from such things. My once-and-future boss has an awesome piece in last Sunday's NYT Style section, here:

In a nice trifecta of surprises, "Mad Men" showed up on both the Times' TV critics best-of-2007 lists AND got a name check in Bill Carter's piece about how HBO has messed up royally. As in, if HBO had developed "Mad Men" last year instead of wasting their time with "John From Cincinnati,"maybe HBO's reputation wouldn't be in the crapper now.
As for Christmas in Santa Monica: Good times. I think standing rib roast may be the go-to meal for festive occasions in #403 for quite some time. I've just about got the hang of it now, and even managed to simul-cook gravy, popovers and two side dishes in the last 20 minutes. (Kudos to my excellent support staff, Michael and Jack, who chopped, cleaned and prepped their hearts out.)
And today: Leftovers and third wave baking for a few folks who were out of town on Christmas proper.
