So far, this week, I've made a batch of homemade salsa, some porc pies (though I'm less than pleased with those results, but meh. They taste ok even if they look rough), another batch of scotch eggs (which turned out great!) and a ham.
While I was doing that, I finished wrapping up all the prezzies, dropped off the xmas cards at the office and generally kept everything clean and tidy. Katy, who has seen me cook, can testify that that last one is a feat :) I also managed to not kill the cat and that, given his general pain-in-the-assish behaviour recently, is also a feat.
It's getting down to the wire, but I can maybe hopefully begin to think that I'll make it :) We're going into town tonight to get some more smoked brisket from Bottisham and picking up the last of the ingredients we'll need over the holidays.
On my way to campus yesterday, I saw something that I'd never seen before. Freezing fog. Campus looked really eerie, but pretty. It was really funky to see all the spiderwebs that are normally hidden from sight covered in a layer of frost.
