Bread Feast in Bed

( All )

Waking from dreams of serving dill bread to people to actual garlic-dill potato bread in bed.

Meals with Family

( All )

Cooking for mom: Vol-au-vents with mushrooms and mushroom soup poured over mixed veggies, linguine noodles with pesto and brie and asparagus. Aunt feeds a surprise household: potatoes, gravy, orange jello with mandarin, canned peas and carrots, creamed corn, cranberries, olives, cucumber and homemade buns.

Xmas Lunch

( All )

Bunny love berry much cranberry. Everyone contributed a little. Mom made jello and added peas on earth. Brian roasted the potatoes and tofurkey. A cousin provided grape juice. I peeled parsnips… Must have some pooh at lunch.
