What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post. Speaking of Wednesday, it was a busy day in the ga...
Prime rib and shrimp on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day we have a traditional Norwegian meal with homemade meatballs and gravy over homemade mashed potatoes
ReplyDeleteWe always do a ham and sides - basically Thanksgiving but with a ham instead of a turkey. I'd love to get away from that, but my kiddo and my folks seem to really want that meal. Lasagna for Christmas Eve and then ham and all for Christmas Day. We do a sweet roll thing for Christmas morning that is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to find a lemon cookie recipe right now. I made these amazing cookies last year, used a lemon cake mix, and apparently didn't print the recipe. Ugh. Hate when I do that.
Have an amazing Christmas you two!
For years it would be a beef roast of some sort, either a standard roast or a crown roast with the little shoes. LOL And all the usual sides. One of my favorite appetizers would be the bruschetta that I still make to this day numerous times a year. We used to have breakfast on Christmas Eve but got away from that because of our work schedules. The past couple of years it's been lasagna for Christmas instead just to make things simpler and there have been no complaints. It's the one dish my hubs will eat as leftovers for a few days. lol
ReplyDeleteI think this is only my second post here, the first one being about the gentleman at the graveyard who you helped out.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to wish you and the Mr. a Merry Christmas and a happy new year and to thank you for your daily posts. I enjoy reading them very much.
To answer you question, I will be defrosting the other half on the turkey I cooked for my husband for Thanksgiving (I'm a veggie). I will do your mashed potatoes (had to look it up on Youtube as I mislaid my written copy) roast potatoes, stuffing, broccoli, Yorkshire puddings, gravy, rolls and butter and sticky toffee pudding and custard. (Can you tell I'm English :) ). I was going to make mince pies but I've gained the Covid 20 so I thought I should give them a pass this year.
Happy Love Anniversary. Jo.
I'm sorry, I think I should have said cemetery not graveyard.
