Baked bread this morning, mince pies and tarts yesterday. The cheesecake is setting in the fridge. The turkey should be thawed now but I won't need to put it in the oven for hours yet because it i just a lump of turkey meat not a whole bird. According to the label it only takes seventy five minutes in the oven and as we intend to eat at about 16:00 I won't need to think about it until about 14:00.
So I should have time to use up the left over pastry to make some jam tarts.
Dressed all in reds and pinks today.
It's a very bright sunny day and that made it difficult to get good pictures. What little snow we had yesterday has all evaporated.
@Ontheroad There's a cheesecake setting in the fridge as well. The turkey breast, sausages, bacon, potatoes, and various vegetables are waiting in the kitchen. Much more than we need for the four of us but then we won't need to cook for a few days!
@meggie Thank you. I don't often wear this suit because I'm usually wanting to show off my legs. But when I have all three boys (grown men in fact) around for the day I tone down my inner exhibitionist a little. I love to cook, probably because I don't have to. Baking is very satisfying, perhaps because it lasts a little longer than just a meal. And I usually manage to cook at least one thing that each of my sons likes; that makes me feel good even while they are telling me that some other part of the mal didn't quite work!
