Holiday Season 2015 - Solstice

Monday, December 21, 2015

Dale made it back safely! Relaxed evening of cocktails and Christmas music (Frank Sinatra) to allow us to catch up. It turns out John is recovering nicely and really appreciated Dale coming out to visit.  We had turkey noodle hot dish for dinner and watched Bye Bye Birdie. Very pleasant longest night of the year. 

Christmas Eve 2014 - Dinner

 

Dinner turned out great. My second martini wasn't bad either.

Christmas Eve 2014 - Making Dinner

I made turkey noodle hotdish for dinner. The ingredients include macaroni, cream of mushroom soup, corn, and, of course, ground turkey. It gets topped off with lots of cheddar when served up. I didn't sing this year but Dale did. The service was earlier than last year's, 7 to be exact. Dale's call was 6:00. I wanted to make something easy since we'd be eating early. This fit the bill. It's also a wonderful comfort food. After finishing my egg nog I made a Tanquerey martini. I listed to Cyndi Lauper and Ed Ames while cooking. The Ed Ames album brought me right back to living room of the house on Stevens.
