It’s SO hot and threatening to storm (which will hopefully lower the temperature somewhat). How I envy those of you who are having a white Christmas.
But enough complaint. Don’t ever let me tell you I’m poor. Yesterday my husband went to the markets and came back with a bounty of luscious peaches and nectarines and strawberries and cherries. Big black flavour-burst-in-your-mouth cherries. We have plenty to indulge for days on end and still have ample to give away. I spent yesterday afternoon peeling nectarines to poach in orange juice and ginger and Irish whiskey (should have been Grand Marnier, but we don’t have any). Today I’ll add a handful of mint. Yum.
My husband, son and I will have Christmas lunch with the family of a friend – closer to us than our own families. Children abound, and ‘strays’ who have nowhere else to go on Christmas Day.
Happy Christmas everybody.
