Tonight’s kitchen victory: Guinness pie.

Finished the last of the timpano yesterday.

Today was so lazy that the thermostat thought we’d left the house, so it let the house start cooling down.

Celebrated Gamesmas at Tessa and Breck’s. Played Magic, Tsuro, and Five-Minute Dungeon.

Finished season 1 of The Mandalorian. Enjoyed.

Lovely Christmas. Gifts were opened, food was successful (Dutch baby, portobello Wellington, timpano), family was over. And to all a good night.

Thermostat died; got a new one. Christmas is saved!

Cooking for Christmas dinner: ragù for the timpano.

Also, since we’re hosting Christmas dinner, the furnace died, or maybe it was the wiring or the thermostat.

Cooking for Christmas dinner: meatballs and eggs for the timpano, mushrooms and onions for the portobello Wellington.

Sitting down to Star Wars with Meghan and the dude.

Starting to plan the Christmas portobello Wellington and the Christmas timpano.

I think last night was my first real experience with insomnia. Do not like.
