This day was long, but a great experience... One of the best holidays that I've had in a looooong time. For a change, though, we decided to not going down to the 'burg. There is just so much family drama and I really wanted to avoid it. In any case, we had a lovely dinner with our friends (actually, at the moment, I am being rude and antisocial and I am not entertaining my guests... Simon and Aaron are playing the Xbox- Halo, of course...)
I figured that I would post a brief description of the day that I had. I got to work. It wasn't as horrible as I thought, I did get a bit frazzled. I apologized and was better the rest of the day. I think everyone was at the end of their patience. Lots of people being stupid and trying to get last minute food items the day before Christmas.
After that, to home I went. Prepared the rolls and Simon had already started the turkey. Here is what we had for dinner: Turkey, potato rolls (a tradition from my family and a good one at that), asparagus with hollandaise sauce, mashed potatoes, gravy (made from the drippings of the turkey and white wine), and some great pinot gris to accompany it. There was also a bottle of wine from Lodi, California. It was an absolute perfect accompianment to the dinner. Warm and mellow, smooth and dry... Hints of mocha, vanilla, and raspberry...
For dessert: Gateau maison. A delicious cake made essentially with butter, almond flour, and sugar. Not healthy in any sense of the word but so worth the extra poundage.
Tomorrow will involve cinnamon rolls, sticky rolls, late breakfast or lunch (I am sincerely looking forward to sleeping in) and being with the rest of my surrogate family.
