A digital camera and a blog — neither of which I quite know how to use yet! Please be patient with me during this period of experimental posting :-). Let’s begin with a sampling of treats from Christmas day, mmmmm …
Following family tradition, I stayed at my dad’s house Christmas Eve night, up in the guest room with my Aunt Mary. We woke up bright and early around 8:30am and chatted about the mysterious footsteps we heard in the middle of the night. Ghosts?? Sufficiently spooked, we headed downstairs to start poking around for breakfast.
I started with a steamy and festive mug of Earl Grey tea with skim:
I found out that my stepmom was planning to heat up a couple of quiches. Not being a quiche girl, I set to work making fruit salad for everyone (using fruit left over from dessert the night before!) and oatmeal for me.
My spread: oatmeal plus about 2 cups of fruit salad with nonfat vanilla yogurt
Obligatory zoom on the oats, made with fresh cranberries, 1/2 banana, more vanilla yogurt, a crumbled gingersnap thin, and a hidden spoonful of pb!
We got to opening presents, and somehow this tin appeared on my lap. I had one and quickly removed them from my sight!
Knowing we were headed for an enormous dinner at my stepmom’s family’s house, I tried to restrain myself for the rest of the morning/afternoon with probably 7 more mugs of tea and these:
Small handful of baby carrots (x5!!)
