Make Banofee pie and buy the fresh prawns on christmas eve
Woot! I fell in ❤️ with Banofee during a visit to Ireland in '99. Couldn’t find that at all in the Boston area. Even in the Irish parts of town.
I actually found it a couple years ago in a smaller town bakery. That bakery has since closed. Haven’t really hunted for it in the States again.
Enjoyed some more during my Ireland vacation this past March… Yummo!
- Buy my sister and nephew gifts (BIL and mum’s are ready)
- Stop myself from drinking the homemade anisette
- Prepare some Stolle (I’m glad they didn’t insist on panettone)
- Control my desires so I don’t chug the anise liqueur
- Finish decorating the new cardboard tank aka Panzerfrieda
- Prevent Lvxferre from drinking the vodka flavoured with star anise and the likes
- Grab some ingredients for the brie and funghi secchi risotto
- NO DRINK BOOZE.
So it’s a lot, but most of them are “don’t”.
Waiting for one final Christmas present to arrive before I can wrap it and place it under the tree.
Also have to make a brussel sprouts dish for Christmas Eve dinner.
Unpopular opinion but I really like sprouts.
I love them, too. Specially sautéed with a tasty fat (lard, EVOO, butter, all three work great), salt, black pepper, and a bit of lime juice.
Everything lol. Cramming starts on Monday.
sleep
I still need to pick up a stack of gift cards
Wrapping. Putting the skirt on the tree. Maybe attempting to make some sun visor covers for a 24 year old civic.
What’s a Christmas tree skirt? I’m intrigued
It’s a piece of cloth, usually circular with a hole, that goes around the bottom of the tree. It hides the tree stand and gives an area for presents to be not on the ground.
Ahhh pretty I approve
