The presents are unwrapped, the leftovers packed up, the dishwasher has been run (and rerun, etc.), eggnog gulped, football watched, and sofas warmed. In typical Ohio fashion, the day dawned dim, rainy and 55 degrees. I have a hard time remembering our last white Christmas. We had a small Christmas at home with just my parents, who brought me a bushel basket which belonged to my great-grandfather, and a voice recorder, so I can now justify talking to myself in the car.
Husband gave me a meat grinder for our Kitchenaid, so you can look forward to laughing along with me as I attempt to conquer paté and sausage-making.
I hope your holidays were as filled with good food, love, family, and warmth as mine. It's all too soon that we're back to work and the humdrum of life, trudging through the slush of the long dark winter; it's nice to have a day to relax and reflect on the past year and the year to come. I'll be posting my New Year's resolutions in a few days for your ridicule and review, I have a great restaurant review coming up, and it's almost time for my annual Lisa's Favorites, this year with a new section!
Cheers! Merry Christmas!
