We’re having a merry little Christmas. John & Al are in California, so it was just me, Mark & Ethan opening presents.
I got an immersion blender – the purple one – and 432 minutes of Julia on DVD. And some really pretty museum gift shop earrings.
I took 3 big trays of cookies to the homeless, and there’re still some of all of our favorite kinds in the basement fridge. For breakfast, we had potatoes with rosemary from the back deck – it’s been so warm we haven’t even brought the herbs in yet, but that’s a whole other rant – and eggs and bacon and giant filled scones, cranberry and fig apricot.
Since it’s just me & Mark, we’re just having dessert in lieu of Xmas dinner – I made a trifle with pumpkin cake, lemon curd, custard and macaroon crumbs. Last night we had our traditional pizza & watch Love Actually. Thin crust, one was pepperoni & the last of the pepperonata that I had thawed for the cookie party (for red pepper Boursin tarts); the other was roasted cauliflower & broccoli (leftover dip veggies also from the party), red onion, and red sauce.
Had a little cheese & crackers to tide us over to trifle.
