noadvertising Since I spent the evening at daughter's godmother drinking eggnog and avoiding cookies I completely missed dinner. Woke at six in the morning and was so hungry that I got up, finished the Klosterkipferl by dipping them in chocolate then devoured breakfast. Weather was fine if one lived up the hills, down here it was cold (only two degrees), foggy and dark. Now I can cope with rain and snow (if unavoidable), but fog is worse- no hills, no wood, even the houses next street were veiled. I turned on all lights in the conservatory, strung the tiny, labelled, bottles to the Christmas tree, put more golden angel hair onto the twigs, dragged the nativity scene up from the basement and arrayed it on the dresser, almost freezing to death then, because hubby has turned the heating off in this room. Not good, when I was sniffling all night long. And I had not even been outdoors long enough to catch another cold- once again I missed the Wilde Jagd custom (the one only insiders know where it will happen). Well, DiL could have called me, because it started near their house, but she didn't.
Hubby went grocery shopping and came back with so much salmon that our freezer is ready to burst. Needless to say that we had salmon for lunch! Easy recipe done with joghurt and dill, the only problem was that I had forgotten to take my medication, so that my body would tolerate fish, hence a very queasy stomach for a while. I pottered along on the terrace, turning two small metall buckets into Christmassy decoration, warmly dressed, of course, while three guest cats were trying to make me trip by coiling themselves round my legs. At least they weren't chasing birds then! Since hubby decided to make another batch of bacon jam I postponed baking the last cookies. Our kitchen is not that big that two people can work on two different meals at the same time, especially since the table got relocated to the living room and there's not enough work space for two. Hubby in the kitchen needs lots of space, so daughter can help me with baking tomorrow, depends on at which time she will show up. At least she can be bribed with free cookies! Husband mine not so much- he bought another box of cookies à la mutti at the grocery shop- the ones sis and brother-in-law found to be lacking in texture and taste. Just let him, that leaves more of the good stuff for the rest of the family!
