My biggest Christmas present this year will be the return of Husband. Husband has been away for more than three months and he returns to us on Christmas Eve. The anticipation of having him home beats out any food I'm going to make for sure, but I still want to cook a lovely meal for our family. I asked him to choose whatever he wanted to eat for dinner, and he bellowed into the phone, "PRIME RIB and SCALLOPED POTATOES." It's fine with me because I really wasn't planning on cooking something else, but it is nice to know that what HE wants aligns with what I want to make. It's a win-win situation. I like a slower meal on Christmas, and less intense cooking so whatever I can prepare the night before I will and make the day of just more fun spending time with the family. YAY!!!
