So folks, in a week’s time, it will be the eve of the day! What have you been up to and how are preparations coming along? Are you working on the check-list from last week and checking it twice? As for me, this is where I am at.
The menu has not evolved to include a lot more. Sticking with the theme of making things that can be consumed in various ways, such as a side dish or main, I have decided that I am going to make a generous bowl of chicken and potato salad with boiled eggs. There will be enough protein and carbs in the salad to make it a balanced meal. If I want, I can add a garden salad. The only other thing I have decided to add to the menu is broccoli. Again, keeping versatility in mind, I can steam, roast, or bake the vegetable or even turn it into a rich creamy soup. That’s it. Nothing else on the menu. You might be thinking, how scant the menu is (lol). The truth is for the past several years I have not had a Christmas meal at home, so I try not to do too much, but enough to share with friends. And based on the items I have it is easy to add a few other side dishes to expand the meal for entertainment.
