Note: Are you just looking for the recipe? It's hiding at the bottom. Sneaky me.
Have you put away your Christmas stuff yet? It probably goes without saying that I dislike this part of the holidays, but I'm saying it anyway. I miss the cheery atmosphere around the house once I put away all the jingly bells and little crocheted reindeer. But all good things must come to an end, or something like that.
So today I'm boxing it all up, in the midst of a repair guy who's here to "tune up" our big oil tank in the basement, whatever that means, and another guy who collected our donations to the Vietnam Veterans of America, my own sort-of belated Boxing Day celebration. I wish our country would get on board with this holiday! I love to give a big send-off to the old stuff we no longer need. Thank goodness for wonderful organizations that will come to your doorstep to take it off your hands.
