Hunk of beef turned out well and hubby´s hasselback potatoes were wonderful. Have leftover mince pie and eggnog ice cream for later and our "champagne" jello desserts ready for midnight. Tomorrow is the american southern pork loaf and hoppin john made with black beans. Could not find black eyed peas this year, but I read that in south america and puerto rico, they use black beans, so there is precedent. Hoping all my Christmas friends have a safe evening and a blesséd 2013.

We saw some snowflakes this morning but this afternoon has just been fog and drizzling rain. So ready for this dreary weather to be gone. Ready to see some sunshine.

We had left over ham for breakfast too CK! Hmmm......nothing better than Christmas left-over ham with beans or in an omelet!

Here it is 75F with no clouds in the sky. People are wearing shorts! Sending you some hot sunshine in exchange for misty cloudy rainy/snowy days!

But I'm sure my wife will be setting those plans into motion soon.

oh, and don´t forget we always have Friday Christmases all year long!

That's a very nice gift your hubby chose for you! And it came in handy too on your first shopping trip.

We don't have Friday Christmases here.........I think its a good idea though!

I was referring to Friday Christmasses as created by Christmas Crazy on this list. At the very least you listen to christmas music while doing your regular chores. But, since there are SO MANY Christmas movies you cannot possibly see them all during the regular season, I am thinking of adding a Christmas movie night to the routine. We shall see. Hubby has not agreed.

Change of subject: I have had Hubby on a once a month oatmeal trial since July. It is an effort to convert him to the joys and health benefits of oatmeal. Now, he says that "January" oatmeal should be white and look like snow..........any ideas? My biggest source of inspiration comes from http://www.mrbreakfast.com. A glorious website! Today we had cinnamon apple raisin oatmeal.I was trying to capture the flavors of mincemeat, my favorite christmas pie.
