Okay, this thing where I don't do the entire Xmas dinner is actually not bad. This may be the wave of the future.
Yesterday I helped teach Dad how to bake bread. We made foccacia for the Xmas dinner, and it's safe in my freezer right now. Today I made lasagna using a new recipe where everything was made from scratch, including the pasta (the leftover pieces of which I drizzled with olive oil, some fresh cracked pepper, and parmesan and had for lunch). I'm not 100% sure if I like this tomato sauce recipe, but on the upside there are seven different kinds of cheeses in the lasagna itself, so really the rest is extra. (And my house smells amazing, so hopefully that's a good sign for how it's going to taste).
Now I am relaxing before grabbing a shower, then heading over to my parents' for the traditional Xmas Eve pigout and first exchange of presents. I knitted gifts for Mom and Dad so hopefully they fit. Dad's I'm sure will be okay, but Mom's I'm worried about. Ah well. Only a few hours left before I know.
Tomorrow I'll be leaving around noon for my brother's, and a Xmas celebration that I will hopefully not have a migrane at the end of. *Thinks good thoughts*
Merry Xmas to all!
