| Thanks to Kate for the lovely bunch of flowers |
The week between Christmas and the New Year is a very special time for me. This year I don't have any babies due, and I am enjoying the 'holiday'. I don't need to do much meal preparation, as we have leftovers from the Christmas feast to work through. Tonight I have made a pot of risotto, with stock made from the turkey carcase, ham and vegetables. We have plenty of fruit to enjoy: stone fruits from the trees in the back yard, and melon, pawpaw, cherries ... - more than we can eat. Today the dehydrator is humming as a batch of apricots are being dried. Noel has made up a couple of pots of jam - plum and apricot so far. The figs will be ripening soon.
