For New Year's Eve, which we celebrated quietly at home, Alissa made these neat-o sandwiches of simple foccacia, pesto sauce, pepperoni, mozarella, and tomato (on mine). I highly commend them to you! Foccacia bread: $0.90, Roma tomato: $0.25, Pesto sauce: $0.75, Cheese: $0.40, Pepperoni: $0.60. This tasted like a coffee shop sandwich -- and for a bargain price! Add in a simple soup and you've got a meal. (Toasted at 400 F for five minutes.)(New Year's Eve, pre-haircut. In case you're wondering, this is the first time in seven months of marriage that we've hooked up the ole N64. And yes, that cardboard box atop the tv is propping up the rabbit ears.)
We then celebrated New Year Day with a haircut. As Alissa said of the event, "This ain't no hundred dollar haircut, but it maybe a hundred minute one!" (In honor of the estimable and fine, fine-haired John Edwards while visiting Dubuque.) It was, indeed, rather longer (with regard to time) than the norm, but there's a first time for everything, and, as Alissa says, "Would you prefer it slow or with big ole holes?"
After the haircut! In the interest of full disclosure, I got a mite bit antsy and decided to try my own hand at trimming around the ears, which resulted in a hair-do of StarTrekkian proportions. But, aside from that little self-inflicted foible, the hair-cut turned out great. 
And the hair-cut minus the Star-Trek profile:Thanks, Alissa!

The haircut looks nice. Nice job Alissa. The first time I cut David's hair it took about two hours and he did get a little impatient. I used to bribe him to stay still by stopping to rub his head now and then! Now I can get him and Theo done in about 30 minutes. Good for you for learning.
I does take a LONG time to cut hair when you are learning. I was doing good at 45 minutes for a long time. I may be down to 30 minutes now. Because Alan's hair is so straight and thick it makes ridges easily and isn't too forgiving. Andrew actually has the easiest type of hair to cut, so you will get faster at some point. The haircut itself looked really good! Congratulations! Better than my first forays into haircutting! The sandwiches looked really yummy. Thanks, Andrew, for sharing the recipe. Are you cooking, too?
That is about the most awesome haircut I have seen. One-hundred dollars would be a bargain!
Mom - No. Alissa is doing most of the cooking. The sandwiches were her idea, but I just happened to be the one taking the lead on this particular post.
Jonathan - Are you refering to the haircut or to my awesome digital ears?
