Christmas was lovely.
We drove to my dad's and cooked dinner for him. I am fairly sure this is the only time his oven has been used. A 1947 sherry to start (my dad's contribution). Pork shoulder with a dry rub, braised in wine with apple and onions. Brussels sprouts, wild rice, a radicchio salad (this week's Resolution Recipe, to be posted later), and a baked yogurt pie with pomegranate seeds for dessert.

He gets lots of company with the other residents, but I think he appreciates us spending time with him.

Yesterday we had a fairly lazy day, with champagne and cranberry-orange muffins. We watched a rebroadcast of a Giants post-season game. Then we braved the rain to drive to [livejournal.com profile] etaine_pommier's place for a spectacular roast goose cooked by J!, along with other tasty dishes. Then we were introduced to Cards Against Humanity with w&J and Joe & Leisa.

Today came too soon. Now I have to get back to work.
