They don’t go together very well. I missed a step coming down the stairs last week and tore a few ligaments so am trying to stay off the foot as much as possible. It’s turning lovely colors at the moment and is still quite swollen. Really, the timing could have been better! I had no baking done whatsoever. However, I did get the tree and minimal lights up and someone else was hosting Christmas dinner so my obligations were minimal so I guess it could have been worse as well!
Anyway, more cooking to return soon to the blog. I’ve been relying on “the kindness of strangers”, well really friends… and my children have been in charge of dinner for a few nights. Grilled cheese and lentil soup. Quesadillas and chicken noodle soup. Delivered pizza. I’m detecting a trend: bread and cheese! Thank goodness for the delicious beef stroganoff that a special friend made on Christmas Eve! And my sister took pity on me and sent me home with some leftover turkey this morning. The kids made what few cookies we had this year: sugar cookies and gingerbread boys. Now, after the big family dinner I’ve got more cookies than we need, of course, so perhaps it’s just as well we didn’t bake any.
So sorry to hear you got hurt! I sprained an ankle once, and remember all too well how badly that hurt. Good luck on getting well soon!
