2 days to Christmas Eve! Where did the whole of December go??? It seemed like yesterday that I was looking forward to the Finnish Independence Day cum Christmas party on December 6. Then, I recalled rushing to make the dough for the Gingerbread men, baking them another day, making and freezing the Christmas casseroles, wrapping Christmas presents & mailing a couple of them out to the mothers east & west...... And I still haven't had time to make a Christmas Stollen which is a buttery bread with almonds & raisins sprinkled with icing sugar, the German answer to Italians' Panettone. Hmph!
Monday - buy salmon (hopefully, they'll have dill too!) to make Graavilohi/Gravad Lax, Finnish/Swedish salted salmon.
Tueday - a 4-5kg turkey to be delivered. Make the stuffing for the bird.
Wednesday - Roast the Big bird (don't let minibeanie hear that) for 4-5 hours.
Finally, sit down for a Christmas Eve dinner that can feed the whole school! And since there are only 2 adults and a little bean, it'll be a dinner followed by 3 lunches & 4 dinners :D Let's see how creative I can get with leftover turkey...
minibeanie is 1 year, 4 months, 3 weeks & 5 days old
