Here in northern Minnesota, we had just gotten over a week of sub-zero high temperatures and high wind. So just having a bit warmer day seemed like a true gift. As our family get-together won’t happen until this weekend, due to other kids’ in-law family commitments, we had a very quiet Christmas. We invited our friend, Tom, over for a relatively low-key dinner. I roasted a nice beef roast and small smoked turkey breast. We also had fresh rolls, candied carrots, and garlic mashed potatoes, plus Will’s favorite cheesecake. I tweaked the cheesecake by adding a pint of fresh blackberries to the filling, not just putting them on top. That turned out very tasty. I’ll do that again this weekend!<\/p>\n

Evening was very nice. It was just a quiet night, with just Will and I, plus the dogs and cats of course. We had decided to not give each other presents on Christmas, but wait until the family gets together later on this week. So, we enjoyed the fire, the Christmas tree lights, and the peace of the evening. I hope you all are just as comfortable and content. I couldn’t wish for more. — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
