and a happy Christmas eve to all . . .

*tomorrow's prime rib is picked up and sitting sweetly in the fridge along with the corn on the cob.

*two sheet pans of manicotti are made and nestling next to the prime rib.

*an enormous pot of gravy, stuffed with 45 meatballs, six sausages links, and 14 pork ribs, is happily bubbling on the stove.

*three loaves of crusty french bread have been smeared with garlic butter, oregano and parsley and are playing tiddly winks with their much less adorned brother . . . not everyone in the cave loves garlic.

*the chocolate cake I didn't bake is ready for cutting.

*all that's left to do is wrap presents, add the leaves and set the table and drink wine.  Oh wait, I am drinking wine.  Silly me.
