So my plan of action for yesterday was:
1. Make spicy peanut soup
2. Make the Mexican layered dip--using homemade salsa
3. Mix the onion dip (would it be Christmas without Lipton Onion Soup Mix dip?)
4. Bake an apple cake
5. Mix up an herb cream cheese spread
6. Dig out all the serving plates & pieces we received for our wedding.
7. Watch the cat to make sure the current cast lasts more than 24 hours (1 hour 10 minutes being his fastest removal time to date)
8. Mix more onion dip when I have eaten the first batch
9. Send 10 more Christmas cards
10. Gloat that I don't have to be out driving around in the 3 inches of new snow!
How yesterday actually went:
1. Spicy peanut soup - MADE
2. Mexican layer dip - MADE
3. Lipton Onion Soup Dip - MADE
4 Baked 2 apple cakes because there was a slight misunderstanding involving how many sticks of butter compose one cup......
5. Herbed cream cheese spread - MADE, but a little bland so still in progress
6. Serving plates - still exactly where they were, but we think we know where that is.
7. We've had the same cast now for 36 hours! We're excited! But we do keep checking Theo's toes to make sure this cast isn't too tight....
8. I've been showing remarkable restraint on the onion dip. Okay, I had some, but there's still enough left for tonight--now to just make it the rest of the day.........
9. Christmas cards......I did email the Christmas letter to about 50 people yesterday, so that sort of counts, doesn't it?
10. Gloat - Done, Done, DONE! We don't plow roads in Boise--we dump sand on them, which I'm sure made everyone feel better yesterday when they were sliding around in dirty snow.
BONUS: Made the cranberries for Thursday's dinner
BONUS: Made almond butter crunch--I'm feeling SO Martha!!!
Today's list:
1. Clean
2. Make sourdough rolls to go with tonight's soup
3. Listen to Christmas music the entire day
4. Do a quick check for any vermin gifts brought in by Callisto. (Yesterday's was a bird)
5. Enjoy Christmas eve!!!!!

Dear Martha. Whatever you're on to give you so much energy - could you share some with me? That Mexican layered dip sounds good too.
love,
