The end of December and Christmas time
We dried slices of oranges and grapefruit and hung them on string with cinnamon sticks
Made a new batch of granola
It snowed
We went to the KSO's Kids Christmas Concert, The real Christmas miracle was taking 2 10 year olds and 2 15 year olds and they all behaved.
There was bowling
And ginger bread house making
And a game of Clue where somehow we all checked off one of the suspects by accident - the person who actually did it - so no one won and we were all very confused.
Salted chocolate chip shortbread cookies on Christmas Eve
We went to the pantomime
Chicken leg socks for Christmas
Tater tot breakfast casserole for Christmas morning breakfast
Beef brisket for dinner
An excellent bumper sticker

Stuff in December
We gathered leaves in the park and made stickers
We made roast squash with feta and honey
And little focaccias
I was pretty proud of my December cover page in my junk journal
I rediscovered this box of curry in my cupboard
And made curry dumpling soup
I received the Coven newsletter by Anna Marie Tendler and am still sitting with this part -
Patriarchy hates women. It paints us as unstable. It preys on our insecurity. It protects the deplorable, if not illegal, actions of men in positions of power. It turns women against each other with its façade of scarcity by relying on us to tear each other down, to participate in judgment of one another, to be envious and jealous. Patriarchy holds women to a standard that makes no room for messiness or imperfection.

i finally used my latest 2 unnecessary (?) kitchen gadgets
last year i convinced myself that i absolutely must have a mini muffin maker. i bought it and promptly pushed it to the back of the cupboard, embarrassed that i spent money on it when i have perfectly good muffin tins and an oven.
THIS year i decided that i could not live without a mini waffle maker, mostly because of those aesthetic videos online of people packing their food for the day. i want to be cute and aesthetic too!
last month i finally used both of them for the first time.
