Christmas is over. We didn’t do much for this Christmas. I spent most of the day surfing the web, upgraded my current WP 2.2 to 2.3, changed the template and added falling snowflakes to my blog since it started to snow on Christmas day. Since i have been here, this is the 2nd year it snowed on Christmas day. We had about 4 inches of snow from this snow fall.
After so much of surfing, it’s time to do some thing else. I baked another cake, a pound cake or butter cake. To be honest, I don’t like the outside of it. It’s like a crust. See the pictures and you know what I mean.
The cake texture was ok. When we nuke the slices of cake, the sides are softer, eatable. If not, it goes right to the trash.
Then comes our Christmas dinner. We thawed out the ham, the gift from my boss’ boss. I didn’t cook anything for this year.
We wanted to have green beans casserole, but the stores ran out of french-cut green beans. No choice, I bought a pre-made salad, a can of sweet potatoes and mash potatoes (KFC). What we really made was put the sweet potatoes in the dish, added butter and brown sugar and nuked it.
Here’s our meal on this Christmas day.
Needless to say, after the load of sodium from the ham, we were so thirsty, drank tons of water till we went to bed. We watch movies with the fire going till 1:30 this morning.
The left over ham, all put in 3 one gallon ziploc bags: one will be given to SD and we will freeze one of them, and the other leave out for sandwiches. And the bone, it’s for soup.
Now is time to get off this chair and help shovel the driveway and patio. The snow blower is konked out on us.

You don’t like the crusty part? That is my fav part of the cake (when it’s still warm):).
LP: for some reason, this crust is like a hockey puck!
