Mr. Foodie and I had a wonderful Christmas. It was more low key than in years past, but we enjoyed it. It is finally starting to feel like winter here in Florida. It was hot and humid on Christmas, but today it is in the 30s outside. It will be in the 50s/60s around noon. I have to say that I love living in Florida because we don't have to deal with snow and sleet, etc.
Mr. Foodie and I didn't have any money to buy gifts this year, not even for each other. Our families were still very generous and gave us many things. My Mom picked out shirts and sweaters for me that I love. She also gave me a cute PJ set that I am wearing right now. My Mother-In- Law got us the cutest Christmas ornaments ever. She always gives us at least one ornament each year. It is a very special tradition that I love. She gave us two black cat ornaments with our Cat Names on them "Southpaw" & "Katalina." She ordered them from Bronners.com.
Another favorite gift is from Mr. Foodies grandparents: Julia Child's Mastering The Art of French Cooking: Volume Two. I am so excited to read this cookbook and try a few challenging recipes. My new kitchen item came from my Sister who got me mini Cocottes from Le Creuset. They even came with a little cookbook with great recipes. I am also excited to try those as soon as I can.
I had better get back to studying. I take the Series 7 next Tuesday.... I feel I am prepared but I must keep studying to make sure. Happy Tuesday! I am very thankful for such a wonderful family and all of the great things I have in life.
