Auld Lang Syne

 


The amaryllis I planted at Thanksgiving bloomed just in time for Christmas.


My daughter’s family came for Christmas all dressed up!

They looked so cute!


Christmas Eve was unseasonably warm and most of the snow had melted.

I got out for a long walk about town.




Every once in a while I get a hankerin’ for cookin’ and Sunday was one of those days.

I made: a citrus salad with grapefruit, oranges, the juice of a lime, honey, and fresh mint.

Sun dried tomato, olive, bell pepper and lentil salad

Lemon and cardamom soda bread

Orange, walnut and raisin cake

Garlic and rosemary pork roast with maple glazed parsnips and baby spinach

My house smelled so good when I came in after a walk.



After all the fuss of the holidays it’s nice to have a simple vase of pink carnations at the kitchen table.
