Turkey roll is heating up. House smells like Christmas. Had my restaurant Christmas dinner yesterday and decided to stay in today. It's mild and damp outside and I'm not really up for cleaning leaf debris-- if not worse-- off the rollator's wheels.
So I made me do some housework during the day because I've been too achy to do much this last week. Thus the kitchen floor is passably clean and one shelf of the fridge has lost its sticky whatever. I should have vacuumed as well but I didn't clean the canister and filter last time, so had to do it this time, and it takes 24 hours to dry.
After which I rewarded me by opening my presents. Gladys Mitchells from Incandescens, fuzzy socks and a new year's dragon door wreath from Finder Jean, an assrtment of rice crackers from Fearless Leader as well as um 'exfoliating foot masks'. Booties that you wear for an hour which are supposed to smooth your rough skin. This sounds intriguing. I shall be interested to see how they fare against my horny callouses.
My one Christmas treat, bought on Saturday, was frozen profiteroles from Loblaws. Someone brought them into work once and I've been fighting the temptation to buy them again for probably the last five or six years. Having now done it once I shall never do it again because lord but they're good. The other indugence was sour cream, something I've always said was too calorific to consider. But I had some hamburger and I had some penne and instead of fried rice I wanted to make a pseudo-stroganoff, and did, and yes, that was delicious too. Leave out the pasta and it's actually low carb, especially if I throw in some broccoi or bok choy for the veg factor.
