Merry Christmas

[no_hypocrisy]

I'm by myself this morning. I've had my coffee.

I'm baking cookies for my neighbors and ziti for a classmate who just lost his wife three days ago.

I don't need anything else.

Enjoy your day.

1. Merry Christmas.

We’re supposed to be getting more snow today up here in NH. Looking forward to not having to drive anywhere.

You also have a peaceful day. I don’t want to hear a peep from the orange man all day.

3. Merry Christmas

A friend hosts Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for all us singles or couples. Christmas dinner is Italian themed this year. He's supplying hot Italian sausage and everybody is bring sides. I'm making vegetable risotto for the first time. Keeping my fingers crossed it turns out well.

5. Risotto cooking tips

1. Keep the liquid/broth at a low boil.
2. Ladle in 1/2 cup of hot liquid/broth at a time and stir until totally incorporated before adding a new 1/2 cup.
3. This is labor intensive insofar as you can't walk away from the stove. Be prepared to stir 20-30 minutes.
4. Buon'appetito!

4. Merry Christmas!

My first Christmas as an empty nester! My kids are with the families of their significant others....we celebrated all day yesterday with great food and thoughtful gifts. I'm planning to read and relax! (and probably eat those delicious leftovers!)

7. Thanks, Merry Christmas to you

It's lovely that you are baking for others. Must be very rough for that classmate.

And hey, if you've got DU, you're never alone.

9. Thanks. Actually the woman who passed was also my classmate.

We went back as far as Kindergarten and she literally grew up one block away from my family.

She and Joe were together since 1969 (sixth grade), so this has to be tough on him.

11. You may be alone physically, but you are not

alone in spirit. We are a community and all of us are with, and care about, one another.

Have a wonderful holiday, knowing that.
