Food This Week 25

Wow - with a whirlwind of holiday with the family and some scheduling mishaps that seemed to shorten the event, I was happy to fall into my bed last night after dragging piles of presents inside from the car. Highlights this Xmas:

• a red cloth coat
• hers-and-hers Sonicare brushes
• 4 large Kilner jars for pantry storage
• a homeowner's journal, in anticipation of our upcoming status
• a fancy rolling pin (for my sweetie)
• roast beast dinner
• turkey dinner
• hiding all of my sister's presents and leading her to them on Xmas morning! (in the garage, on the bookshelf she asked for)

Produce Box

Produce this week contributed by my mom. :) She sent us home with celery, green onions, grape tomatoes, and avocados. (Not to mention leftover pumpkin pie! And a turkey carcass with plenty of meat for soup.) And we have a big squash from Thanksgiving with my folks, which should now be divided and have half roasted for meals and half sliced up and frozen uncooked.
