Making freezer pot pies with mashed potatoes while collecting candy taxes from my kids
We’re surviving
We have 4lbs of honey baked ham to go through. I’m eating a lot of ham.
I think at this point, by dry weight I am 20% ham, 20% mince pie, 20% cheese (mostly camembert and Wensleydale) 20% chocolate and 20% Christmas cake.
Lindt balls, Christmas cookies, and staying hydrated with beer or Dr Pepper.
I cooked a big christmas dinner for 6 people and the leftovers are only just now running low.
I’m making juice out of the cranberry sauce
We’re only halfway through the Christmas ham. We’ll probably be done with it by NYE. Then all the ham at the grocery store will be half-price, and we’ll end up buying another one.
So much ham.
If price per meal is your thing… there are so many amazing things you can make with chicken thighs. To me they’re the lobster of chicken and people haven’t figured out how tender and delicious the things are, so the price is next to nothing lol
Ham at my local grocery store(jewel) is usually $5. For 5 pounds of ham. Like year round. Sometimes loss leaders are wild
Cheese, chutney, crackers, apples, and grapes for most meals.
That sounds nice actually, I haven’t done any holidays foods yet this year. But also the temperature here is going wacky. It’s 23 outside right now, and tomorrow the high is 2. It’s changes like that which make us understand why tornados are common. Hard to feel like Christmas at 23C
Mmmm… Cheese chutney… 🤤
Christmas leftovers and noodles with grated cheese. Definitely eating a lot of sweets and snacks, though.
Oh, cheese on the noodles?
I like it.
Tomato basil soup with wild rice and respectable dashes of mixed habanero-Sri Racha sauces. Yeah, I’m all good. My meals don’t end just because the year ends.
