What a day yesterday. We had my parents over during the afternoon. We took them out with us house hunting, always a depressing chore, and then we went to Walmart, a dreaded destination during the Christmas shopping season! We only needed a few things and fortunately we ran into good friends in line, so we poached a spot and got through quickly thanks to their kindness!
I had some chicken marinating so we headed home and had a great meal of chicken, mashed potatoes, cauliflower with cheese sauce and roasted, caramelized butternut squash and sweet potatoes, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and maple syrup. Yumm. We were too full for the chocolate caramel cheesecake my mother brought so it will have to wait to be enjoyed. We trekked out in last night’s storm to see a great Christmas concert, occasionally cheesy, like a bad combination of a Lawrence Welch special meets Bollywood meets Icecapades! It was great fun, if a late night before the work week starting! This week looks so busy, as it always seems to be the last full week of work before the holidays.
I am excited for tonight as I am getting together with Lesley to catch up on our respective progress in getting ready for the photoshoot on January 8. Things are starting to come together but I still feel uneasy with too many unanswered questions and I am little concerned we may not have enough male models for the cover. Female models seem to be easier to arrange; keep your fingers crossed we will get there. Only a few weeks away now and I have to admit I am starting to get excited. And other friends have been great in offering suggestions and help on how to get the website up, advertising, maximizing my online presence and even suggesting hair and make up artists for the shoot that they know personally. It is going to get a great big group effort to get this cookbook launched!!
