Lots of places in the country are cold and covered with snow; not here, in San Diego, and not at the farm, where it’s raining and 50 degrees, but lots of other places. Dallas got a White Christmas this year, for pete’s sake.
But I can pretend, and be glad for my current climate. So while the men-folk are out with the horses and dogs on the pond, cutting ice and hauling it to the ice house, I’ll get the pie dough made, start the bacon and eggs and cranberry muffins for breakfast, and prep the potatoes for this evening’s ham feast.
Speaking of food, I made a beet-and-carrot soup last night that is sure to become a Christmas tradition. Photos and recipe later; it was delicious!
Merry Christmas to all, stay warm out there!
