Wow, some folks hopefully had a capon on hand but didn’t ask this blog until this morning how to cook it. Hope it wasn’t frozen solid this morning! You guys are really taking it down to the wire. Hope it all worked out.
I am writing from home. We cancelled flights to see family because I became ill on Wednesday, worse on Thursday and we were supposed to fly out Friday to a family member who can’t catch anything right now, plus I’ve been miserable for three days now and my fellow passengers might have just pushed me out of the plane!
My husband is out for Christmas dinner with colleagues. We always hosted “orphans” so it’s about time he was treated (I believe what goes around, comes aroud and it doesn’t matter what city or country you’re in) and I stayed in. We went out to the only restaurant in the neighborhood that was open today, Chinese and my choice. We got a big bowl of soup and an appetizer. I brought more than half the soup home for dinner, hot and sour soup that cleared me out, as did the green tea.
One of our regular “orphans” called tonight as she waited to attend a movie this evening, halfway across the country, perhaps alone. I feel bad that we weren’t there for her this year to serve her a home-cooked holiday meal. She always brought us such great gifts, a bottle of wine and even better, a couple dozen dead tennis balls for Zoe to chase and chew on! She may be coming out to visit soon, let’s hope, we miss all our friends and family.
No cooking to report, except eggs and bacon and biscuits (packaged mix) this morning because it’s Christmas and I hadn’t eaten much and I feel bad for my husband being around here when we’re supposed to be traveling and he’s off work. When there’s more interesting info to report I’ll let you know. Enjoy your family and friends, don’t spread nasty germs, Dee
