Off work at 6:30am Tuesday morning, Christmas is Thursday, and I have to be back to work on Friday at 6:00pm. Son at dad's, so I am camping at my son's.
Breakfast Tuesday morning...
Sleeping, and an episode of The Mentalist
Dinner late Tuesday, or was it early Wednesday morning?... Chicken Alfredo with Shrimp
More sleeping and the movie Divergent and a chick flick.
Nap, then a Christmas Eve service at the Presbyterian church...
Somehow I always seem to find myself at a Presbyterian or Methodist church for a Christmas Eve service. They are similar in the fact that they have readings, and Christmas songs, and they light the candles on the Advent Wreath. This year I realized that in Luke 1:41 it says, "When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit."
Wow, that was 33 years before the disciples met in the Upper Room. That sort of blows me away. I need to ask my Pastor about that.
Then next morning, Christmas, I planned on having cinnamon rolls, but somehow had egg salad on the brain. My mom used to keep a couple of hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator and made egg salad every so often, but it is something I never did because I could not hard boil and egg decently. Well, at 57, I think I finally do!
How to Make a Hard Boiled Egg
In a pot the right size for the number of eggs you want to cook, one layer only, cover with about an inch of water. Bring to a boil on medium heat. As soon as it begins to have a bit of a rolling boil to it, remove pot from heat and let sit for 15 minutes. Then rinse the eggs with really cold water until the eggs are cool to the touch - this will make the shells easier to remove. I suggest shelling them and using right away, or you can place them in the refrigerator to get colder. If you put them in the fridge with the shells on, they may be more difficult to remove later on.
I mashed the eggs with some minced onion and mayo, seasoned with lemon pepper, and spread on toasted sourdough bread. Very delicious. (Fun plate too, you think?)

Christmas presents from G., A & Family in Sweden, and best bud, C.J. ...
Fun stuff! Socks and wasabi peas, chocolate, tea, a Swedish Name Day calendar, a throw blanket and jeans, a pretty necklace :) I feel loved <3
I even enjoyed a crackling fire while listening to Christmas music!
Later on, probably after more sleeping and more TV, I made and enjoyed the Orange rolls...
And way later, I had a t-bone steak for Christmas dinner with grilled onion and garlic toast!
I wish I had all the stuff I had in my little green house to "set" the photography up right. I did what I could with what I could find in the boys' place, I took pictures of everything before I ate it. I hope I am
