I finished work on Friday and I'm off till January 5th (16 days off). Have some work to do at home over the break so while the girlfriend is slaving away at the office I'll spend my mornings drinking coffee, watching TV, and getting some work and things around the house done.
Yesterday afternoon, I stopped at Safeway in the morning and bought a lamb leg and some potatoes. Marinated it in lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and rosemary and cooked it up with some potatoes and vegetables for dinner. It's been so long since I've had roasted lamb, damn, it was good!
We are sticking around for Christmas. Christmas Eve will be at her parents place, then on Christmas day we will head over to my dad's for gift opening and dinner (a Christmas ham!).
It doesn't feel like Christmas outside yet, but if the forecast is correct that'll change tomorrow! I like a white Christmas.
I'm going to try limit the sweets intake this Christmas but I will be shoving anything savoury right in my face. Like right now, time for some more lamb.
