I hope you all enjoyed the festive times with your families and loved ones.
We spent Christmas and the New Year's in our little town. We didn't travel this year, as we did in 2007. first of all we were working at the shop and second, business is tighter these days, so we could not afford closing the shop on a working day. But that is OK with me. Every year is different, and we all need different ways to relax in different times of our lives. Sometimes we need to move, sometimes we need to stand still and live in the moment.
Happily, there was cooking involved, but we were selective. There were cakes involved...
There is something comforting in baking, I think. A quite primitive feeling of the caring womanhood.
On the other hand, we refrained from too much cooking.Cheese and ham and some ready made delicacies made it to our table.
Russian salad, by Greek makers BEM showed up, as did MERENDA, the Greek equivalent of Nutella.
We did do some cooking, pork as is the Greek custom, with orange for Christmas, with chestnuts for the New Year.
And then there was the wine and drinks. Not much, but as we don't drink during the rest of the year, it is more fun!
!Happy 2010!
