Christmas Leftovers

This Christmas I not only cooked a ham, but lamb as well. Unfortunately the lamb did not make it to the dinner table. I don't know why, but my lamb took way longer than my cookbook said and dinner was done before it was. I enjoyed some lamb with mint jelly as a late night Christmas snack, however I did not want to eat it that way for days on end. The gyros with tzatiki sauce hit the spot for a dinner and a lunch.

The herbed lamb stew warmed me on yet another cold night. Of the 2 I preferred the gyros even though they were not as good as the ones I've had while visiting my sister in N.C. . And of course I made navy bean and ham soup.

There were gingerbread men, but no house this year. Cherry bon-bon cookies, but no homemade candy. Pumpkin pie, but no cheesecake. The one thing I really wanted for Christmas no one can give, time. If I only had more time ......

So That's How He Does It!

The on lookers are wondering how they can get cloned so they too can get everything done for the holidays.

Holiday Happenings

It was hard to entice the boys to open their gifts . The truck with its real radio and room for two was fun even though there was no room to drive it in the house! The excitement of children is what makes Christmas fun. The gingerbread house never got finished, but at least it stayed upright! Nana tested the washable markers on Connor and yes it did come off.
