After some rain a cold front has come through. An Arctic blast, as they say. The wind chill is very intense. I went out to pick some marjoram and cover a couple plants and I was very glad to come inside again. One more foray to bring in fire wood and that's the last excursion out of the door I'll make today.
It's been a good day to cook. Poppy seed cakes are on the rise and clear beet barsczc is simmering for my Wigilia meal. Since it's just me (and the dogs...we have a canine guest over the holiday) I'll keep the meal simpler than usual. Instead of cooking fresh fish, I'll have some smoked salmon, for instance. But I will be making pierogi (I think) and maybe some pelmeni too. I'll see how ambitious I am in the morning.
There's really no logical reason for me to make this effort. It's just me and one might think it's too much energy expended for one person. But, a few things...I'm worth it, I enjoy it and it connects me to my family.
Indeed, you ARE worth it. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
