Food

The picture above is my daughter thanking me for a wonderful Christmas.

Today is what the Canadians call "Boxing Day". People run out to stores, and try to get the best bargains they can get, much like Black Friday after Thanksgiving. Blech! This isn't what I have in mind when I think of Christmas.

Last Thurday, my daughter had a performance at her after school program (following pajama day at her school) and I was asked to bring potato salad. It’s been a long time since I’ve made one and the first batch of potatoes I overcooked. My mind was on mashed potatoes and potatoes for potato salad need to be firmer. I went to the store and bought some more and put the ‘over’cooked ones away for another day.

They make a perfect side to tonight’s dinner. A little roasted chicken, mashed potatoes with sage and garlic, stuffing and string beans.
