I made my first batch of “Hugh’s favorite Chilli” this evening and I have to admit it turned out pretty well. I always find it slightly scary when I make a dish for the first time, especially when we are having a guest over for supper. We have a relief member in our community for the month and I like to try and feed them at least a hot meal once a week. I can only imagine what they are feeding themselves. I’m already looking towards a big spaghetti supper next weekend and then of course we are looking at Christmas Dinner. He is also a big coffee drinker so lingering and chatting over a pot of coffee with the tree lights glistening relaxes us into a slight stupor – luckily cheering on hockey is waking us up…I suppose the caffeine buzz is kicking in as well.
I can’t believe Christmas Eve is in 12 days, I officially finished wrapping my Christmas gifts. I swear I only cursed a half dozen times, but Hughie wasn’t here so I didn’t have to add a dollar to the swear jar. I love Christmas but I truly hate..almost despise wrapping Christmas presents. However, Leo had a hard enough time finding me wrapping paper so I knew looking for Christmas bags was going to be almost impossible. I look forward to making my Christmas sugar cookies next weekend. I’ve decided to play Cookie-Santa and deliver my cookies around town on the 23rd during their coffee breaks – I plan on making about 60 Christmas Trees. (Red n Green). I’ll take photo’s of my mound of cookies next weekend.
Otherwise there really hasn’t been anything new to report – the weather is definitely warming up, but with that being said they are calling for some snow over the next couple of days (2-5cm). I, for one cheer snow, anything to cover up my yellow spots that are scattered around my back yard. I also enjoy shovelling!
