4:00 still cooking, though I had a mini-breakdown--too many new recipes, most not going smoothly, and everything needing the oven at different temperatures, all of it a little too overwhelming after a pretty stress-free lead up to the holiday and I didn't handle it skillfully; well, after a good cry and a hug from my MIL, things were better--and Mama made the popovers and Goo made the custard
5:30 DINNER! Standing Prime Rib Roast, roasted potatoes, cauliflower cheese, green beans, braised cabbage, popovers, cheese and onion pie (with Branston pickle!) Toasts to Christmas and family.
6:30 A call from Lambeth and Mrs. Lambeth in the UK, who didn't tell me the plot of the "Downton Abbey" Christmas special--and we'll be there in about 100 days.
7:00 Dessert--spotted dick with custard, mincemeat pie, Christmas plum pudding with brandy butter, tea, coffee, and Bud ate an entire box of Jammie Dodgers!
8:00 Ma and Gong head home; Goo stays to play MarioKart on DS
8:30 waiting for the Doctor Who Christmas special
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
