altivo...in the twinkle of an eye. Well, if it's a slow eye. Takes about 45 minutes in the oven to attain a nicely browned crust. Today's dessert:
Our non-traditional Christmas day dinner consisted of a Cornish hen baked in a clay pot with a curried mixture of pineapple, green pepper, and onion and a little sherry. We added a curried dhal and kidney bean dish, steamed rice, and mango chutney, with a white zinfandel. It was quite good. The dogs were not pleased that we only saved them a little of the stock from the dish. However, I note that they ate it with plenty of relish, displeased or not.
As I promised, we mostly goofed off today except for taking care of the horses and sheep. However, I have what seems like a month's worth of laundry to do, so tomorrow will be busier.
It was a white Christmas in the sense that we have plenty of snow on the ground and up in the trees. Nothing significant fell today, however. Quite an improvement over last year when we had an ice storm and were without electricity for 36 hours, ending just at 9 am on Christmas.
Whatever winter holidays you celebrate, or even if you celebrate none, I wish you joy at the return of longer days and the best new year ever.
