It's a chilly 18 degrees here, just north of Boston, where I am spending the Christmas holiday with my family. When I was packing for my trip, I originally planned to bring my outdoor gear so I would be prepared to run outside in the colder temps. But, I ran out of room and had to leave the extra layers behind. So, there will be no running for me today. I did manage to get a 6 mile run in on the treadmill yesterday. One of the advantages of my LA Fitness gym membership is that I can go to any of their facilities so when I travel I try to take advantage of that and yesterday morning I went to their gym in Stoneham, MA.
So, today I will be focusing on one of my other passions - cooking. I'll be in the kitchen most of the day. Our Christmas day dinner menu includes:
- Roast Turkey with Herbes de Provence and Citrus
- Sausage and Herb Stuffing
- Corn Pudding Casserole
- Zucchini Gratin
- Paula Deen’s Old Fashioned Holiday Glazed Ham”
- Basic Mashed Potatoes
I did most of the prep work yesterday so today I'll be pulling it all together. There will be 12 of us at the dinner table today and holidays for me are all about spending time together, sharing stories, reflecting on our good fortunes of having one another and, of course, sitting at the dinner table enjoying good food!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
John
