[Sca-cooks] Happy Holidays....

[AEllin Olafs dotter]

<Blink>

I'm still here. Or back. Or something... Anyhow, I've had a very crazy 
couple of months, from which I now emerge... at least it was all 
(moderately) gainful employment - some of it even in what I allege to be 
my field!

Anyhow - holiday. I spent the weekend with friends in the neighborhood 
where I used to live, saw people at church I hadn't seen in years. 
(Scary moments... "Is that, um, your son?? I mean, I know I haven't seen 
him in, um, oh, dear, can it be 9 years? OK, I guess he had a right to 
grow up...  He's a stagehand??!")

My friends did all the cooking. They are good plain cooks- no 
monstrosities, nothing much interesting...  roast beef (not overcooked! 
Their purchase of a rotisserie has worked wonders for their meat...this 
was quite good) mashed potatoes, frozen vegetables. Some very good 
sauteed   mushrooms with brandy added - he always cooks mushrooms if I'm 
there, because she won't eat them and he likes to share. *G* But that 
was about it.

No cooking gifts. A lovely batik scarf for the fiber artist I mostly 
am... *G*
