This Christmas is so low key, it almost doesn't feel like a holiday. Well, except for the amount of food that I've prepared. Last night was a semi-traditional Italian cold antipasto plate with lots of veggies and fresh mozzarella and really good bread. And the obligatory Silk eggnog...which contained neither eggs nor dairy, so I didn't feel so guilty about adding a bit of alcohol. It was mighty tasty. It may seem like a contradiction in terms that I would use soy eggnog while eating all that rich food, but you pick and choose your battles.
The cats were enjoying just sitting around with us soaking up the lazy vibe. Magic, who loves the rain, must have gone in and out the door 6 times, always to return soaked. He loves to be dried off and fluffed up. So cute. Taylor is gradually becoming our cat, but he's still a bit skittish at times. Still, he's a really well behaved boy.
Al is in pretty good spirits. I'm making the "big" meal today...a giant vat of meat sauce with Ziti. We have three different desserts...Tiramisu, Cannolli and Opera Cake. I am going to need to spend the next three months in the gym.
The photo is of the breakfast I made this morning...complete with a Mango Bellini. Yums.
Wishing you all a fabulous Christmas and New Year...
xoxo
