It's cold. It's windy. It's dreary. No, not my heart, although.....outside. I've spent these cold days in the kitchen, which, honestly, is where I spend my days in general. I made Denise's (the English Girl) soda bread. It is a favorite for me and it's very good.
I made soup, which yielded three lunches.
Then last evening I made fish for dinner. I guess fish is the focus here as the rest is out of focus.
I am not feeling holly-jolly. I'm grateful there is no need for me to pretend. It will be Mark and yours truly for the holly-jolly day. I plan to have osso buco. Perhaps Julia Child's Gateau au Chocolate. Might as well mix cultures, besides the Italians taught the French to cook. Before you yell at me, look it up. 🤷🏻♀️ Matthew and his wife will come for lunch on Saturday. She was advised by her doctor to end her vegan diet due to some health issues, so she is once again vegetarian and much easier to cook for. We will have a vegetable lasagna with a white sauce, an Italian salad and, I think, a blueberry clafoutis. Mixing food culture once again.
Forget Caturday. It's Gattoday.

Food for the foodies. Can't beat it.
Is Gatto destroying your sweater?
What a sweet picture! 😊
I'm not jolly either. It is the first time I have not been festive, I'm just doing what I have too. Yesterday I was in a World Market store and they were removing Xmas and putting up Valentine merchandise. A lady and I looked at each other and shrugged.
Gatto, what a sweet contented face he has. He loves his home.
Take Care,
Kaye.
I had never heard of a clafoutis before - I was going to make a cranberry cobbler for Christmas breakfast...perhaps I should make a clafoutis!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Seeing your foods always makes me hungry!
I'd never heard of clafoutis, either. Had to google it. Also looks delicious, of course.
Vegetarian is easier to cook for than Vegan, for sure. Funny, I was a vegetarian for about 12 years and my health just slowly got worse and worse. I am back to eating meat and have gone "basically" Keto now the past several years. I think it helped me survive the cancer, actually--lack of carbs.
Anyways, have a marvelous time with family and a sweet peaceful time with the hubby and cats. Great pic of Gatto! :)
I don't really like fish but your fish looks quite tasty. What kind is it?
I have a tiny turkey breast and I'll cook that on Christmas day, it's very tiny. Otherwise, meh. I'm slowly taking the Christmas baking out of the freezer, I usually give it to someone as a gift but that's not happening this year so we're going to enjoy it. I also made more of those shortbread and took them over to my neighbor and wished her a Merry Fucking Christmas. She likes that.
