'twas the day before Christmas and . . .

[kindkit]

Things to do this morning/early afternoon: do a load of laundry, cook and eat lunch, wrap a present for a friend, hopefully do one last edit of my Yuletide story, go to the grocery store for cheese and brussels sprouts.

Things to do from 4-9 pm: work. *sigh* At least it's a short shift.

Things to do after work: bake the bread that is currently on its slow rise, cut up the duck for tomorrow.

It's not really that much, I'm just tired thanks to Christmas retail.

Tomorrow's plan is much better: cook a nice meal (menu: sauteed duck breast with cherry pan sauce, tiny potatoes roasted in duck fat, brussels sprouts with chestnuts and cream, fruitcake, too much chocolate), watch the Doctor Who special, and of course Yuletide.

Since I always like talking about food, I'd love to know what your Christmas menu is if you'll be celebrating tomorrow.

I hope you make it through work unscathed! We're having a roast lamb with rosemary from the garden (in the oven now) and a trifle to follow (setting in the fridge). st_aurafina suddenly made egg, onion, chive and sausage baked in little cups made out of bread for lunch, which was delicious!

Mmmm, lamb. I hope the weather was cool enough where you are that roasting it didn't give you both heatstroke!
