This is an icon of the Russian Orthodox church. It depicts the Vladimir Virgin and Child. But it kind of creeps me out because to me it looks like the Virgin gave birth to Neil Sedaka.
The Russian Orthodox church still uses the Julian calendar, which now falls 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar. So that means that if you are an Orthodox Christian Christmas falls on January 7. But if you're really into the spirit of the season you might also want to pour melted wax into a bowl of water in a fortune telling ritual often indulged by the above same.
In case you're wondering, a daytime high of -14 celsius converts in US terms to f--king cold. Too cold for snow. Too cold for ice. Too cold for oxygen. Walking to and from work is an adventure. As such, I have decided to abandon my well-considered agnosticism in order to worship my Canada Goose Arctic-rated Expedition Parka.
I was feeling good enough to go to work yesterday. By the time I got back home I was hankering for a chicken tender. Wouldn't you know it, I had some in the fridgsky. So I cooked six.
I know the blog has not kept up its usual posting pace. First, I haven't been feeling well, you vampires. Second, we're in a bit of a sprint to prepare the movie for test screening and turnover to sound, you heartless leeches. So give me a break, you bloodsuckers.
May Expedition Parka forgive you.

HA HA HA HA HA HA Love that parka "holy card". It will save you, truly. And those chicken tenders really look scrumptious.
I know, I laughed when I was making the holy card, too. I always hear the accompanying angelic choir when I look at it.
As for the tenders, I like how they actually try to shape them like little representative chicken pieces, as though to assure you, "see you really ARE eating chicken. Promise!"
