It's a good thing I took the time to bask in the sun yesterday because today the snow fell all day long, leaving about 7" on the ground. It was beautiful to watch but I was feeling rather restless this afternoon so I ended up donning my snow gear and schlepping around my neighborhood just to get some exercise. My blood pressure has been a bit high despite the fact that I take medication and have absolutely no stress right now. I'm sure I'll find out that there is stress during the Holidays regardless of whether you feel you should be experiencing it or not. The only problem I've been having is getting a good nights sleep which might be the culprit.
Tonight's going to be a soup night - minestrone. I don't think you can go wrong with a good pot of soup and some crusty French bread on these nights when weather keeps you at home. I can't even imagine having to do any type of Christmas shopping this late in the game. I told my boys that their father and I have enough stuff and what we need, we end up buying when we need it. So, with that said, I let them know that it would be more than welcome if they bought the supplies for the Christmas dinner. We enjoy eating together so much and enjoy each other's company, they might as well be the founders of the feast! They've requested a list and I'll get that together soon. I know it's going to be some type of beef dish, as it seems that's been our tradition now for several years. I'll leave the choice up to them, but a rolled flank steak has been mentioned, as well as medallion of beef. I already have two lobster tails to make ravioli for Christmas Eve. I wish I could have been blessed with skinny genes!
