Most productive day

Merry Christmas to you all!

It doesn't feel like Christmas Day at all- but I guess it's never really been a big day for our family; we don't do much during any of the festive holidays.  The one we care about the most would be New Years and for that, we'd just pop open a bottle of champagne and have a glass or two.

At midnight, D and I opened a bottle of Baileys which we've both been eyeing the whole week. The Baileys icecream they have at Cold Rock Cafe tastes EXACTLY the same as this. So eugh sweet and alcoholic. Nope. Eugh.

I wish I liked drinking coffee.  They come in a wide variety of cups, colours and funky patterns on the froth.  There isn't much you can do with green tea (close to finishing my stash again D:  perhaps I should consider switching to the leafy teas?).

ANYWAY, today (Christmas eve) I had a mildly productive day.  After doing some pre-christmas grocery shopping, I managed to clean my room.  I can now see my floor. And my desk. All I did was throw out all my HSC stuff (recycling bin is now so damn heavy).  I still have  a lot of paperwork from work- but I need to take those back to work to dump in the special locked bins.

Dumdidum. After that I fb-ed a little bit (there isn't much to do on Christmas eve really).  I don't go to church, M isn't here to go Christmas lights touring with me around the 'burbs. D was too busy getting sucked into his Jap/Communist spy drama and K was... I have no idea what she does- but she sure spends a lot of her time on the computer.

As a result of my boredom, I made SOUP.  Yes. Asian clear broth vegetable soup. Having steak every night (plus lots of BBQs), is making me feel a bit sick of red meat. This soup is EXACTLY what I needed. So simple too!  A few carrots, stalks of celery, potatoes, tomatoes salt and a bit of sugar. DONE. I went a bit crazy when I was peeling the vegetables and peeled an entire bag of carrots, so I ended up with a giant pot of soup. Yommmm.

For dindins D, K and I made wontons!

SO HEALTHY RIGHT?

So I had to balance that out with browniessss.  Doubled all the quantities to make a giant tray.

Tomorrow's brunch is all sorted.

Just kidding. I am kinda freaking out right now because we're running low on food already.  Can't believe we eat so much when we have nothing to do :(

Probably time to sleep now. Holidays have once again screwed up my sleeping habits.
