[Pag36]

Since I go to church Christmas morning NO ONE opens gifts till I get back and change out of church clothes. Last year Gina decided she wanted everyone in their nite clothes so I put back on a gown as did Judy and our friend who was here as well as the boys that is Adam as IMP had on regular clothes. Gina takes pix of all of us opening our gifts and Adam takes of her.

Then after all the openings I head back to the kitchen (my fave room) and check on things there. This year we will be having a ham (cooked with orange juice & any lemon lime soda I have here) have been doing the ham this way for over 16 yrs now since had it at first loves home his neice made it that way. It was gooooood and this ole gal does not normally like ham but do that way. I bought a turkey breast the other day to cook also one or the other will be done in my new GE Roaster Gina gave me early for Christmas. I think it will be the turkey breast and will add some veggies maybe the dressing in there with it. BIG roaster.
Will also have cranberry sauce, green bean casserole (which I have never done before) mashed potatoes cooked with chicken broth, sweet potatoes not sure how yet. Probably a fruit salad, rolls, pumkin pie, a cream pie, assorted cookies, red cabbage, rutabaga's cooked with carrots and who knows maybe something else, for sure will NOT be cooking next couple days.

Both Adam and IMP are getting bikes so hope it is nice out for them to ride. Well on to other mails. Oh for the record my throat still hurts and food taste bland still. God bless
