I always take a little time on Martin Luther King, Jr. day to think about MLK but to also reflect on the past Christmas season and to do a few of the things I never get to during the actual Christmas season.
It's become something of a tradition to listen to Sting's If On a Winter's Night on MLK Day. It's become one of my holiday favorites and I think it lends itself well to midwinter January quite nicely.
I also usually drink a shot of Jaegermeister but this year I needed to finish up the Bailey's Irish Cream, so I did. And I got 4 shots worth out of it before emptying the bottle.
I like the idea of making porridge which I've done a couple of times before. It's a Swedish thing which is part of my background but I usually just make oatmeal with lots of brown sugar 'cuz it's just a bit easier.
I usually do something with gingerbread. Yesterday I bought some mix but didn't get to making it today. At least I made it that far. I think I'll make it this week and then make some bread pudding out of it for when we have Warren over this coming Friday.
