December the first, frosty, cold…this is where the countdown starts….it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Today I bought de-icer for the car….
It’s been a good day, interesting and fun. Being surrounded by the Christmas tree and decorations makes it even more so. Magical, festive.
We had to pay a visit to the local mall as Elena’s school took part in a carol singing competition..
I was in my pj’s by 4pm…I’m not setting foot outside on such a cold night! So what better pastime than baking – chocolate cherry cupcakes this time and that was after I’d made a very basic bean dish that Loucas (and Elena) really enjoy ‘Fasolia yiahni’, basically cannellini beans in tomato sauce.
Now I can spend the rest of the evening in my pj’s, in front of the tv, with no-one else home, bliss!
Wherever you are – enjoy your evening..
Sounds like my kind of evening, Anna! I don't like venturing out when it is so cold outside either! The cherry cupcakes look wonderful xx
