Now that image looks like a Merry Christmas
I’m assuming well-deserved R&R
It’s about 75 degrees here on the east coast, crazy unseasonably warm. I always wondered what Christmas would feel like without all the bundling up, and I finally got my wish. Hope your plans went well today Wendy! Let us know how dinner turned out!
The dinner was fun, and the meal turned out well with the exception of the stuffed cabbage. Despite 1-1/2 hours in the oven (recipe called for an hour), the stuffed cabbage wasn’t quite done at meal time. My BFF was in the kitchen with me shoving it in small batches into the microwave. Julia Child says never apologize for your food, and I stayed true to her edict.
I’ve always loved that simple, yet so helpful advice from Julia.
Glad it turned out nice, and what a great BFF to help you out!
He’s the best BFF. I’m so lucky.
I made it through! It was a pretty good day. I just relaxed with my mother and watched movies and worked on some craft projects.
Hope your movie and dinner were a grand success! Looking forward to hearing how it went.
Star Wars was the perfect Christmas movie. And I’d say the evening was a success, though a few days later, it’s mostly a blur. I barely got the chance to socialize as I was a whirling dervish in the kitchen. I spent Saturday on the couch, barely moving.
PS. I love that image…Santa in solitude and the beauty of nature.
What a tough job trying to fulfill so many wishes.
