Any Excuse to Indulge
With temperatures sinking below zero Fahrenheit, I was happy to stay inside, enjoy friends, and eat too much.
Family Picture
Family pictures were taken.
Cooking for Family
Spent much of the day converting these ingredients into scalloped potatoes and braised celery to take to a family gathering. The biggest task was de-stringing four bunches of celery.
A Very Japanese Christmas
Posted A Very Japanese Christmas.
Ax-Man
Started my Christmas shopping at Ax-Man Surplus.
Bonus Cycling Day
Rolled up one pant leg. At this time of year, any day I do that is a bonus.
Hardly Leftovers
Prepared dinner with carefully curated ingredients: everything left over from Thanksgiving, except pumpkin pie, stuffing and cranberry. Tomorrow: farce galettes au compote de canneberges (stuffing patties with stewed cranberry for dipping).
Dangerous Birthday Party
Stood by, ready to prevent misuse of dry ice at my nephew’s ninth birthday party at the Science Museum. The kids behaved really well.
Flowering Christmas Cactus
Our flowering Christmas cactus reminded me it was cold outside. Mittens were a necessity today.
