The final feast for a while

New Year's Day marks the final feast day for us for a few weeks --- the next one, of course, is Chinese New Year.
And our tradition for New Year's Day food is still evolving. I had put a couple of nice pork loins in the freezer a few weeks ago when they were on a 2-for-1 sale at the supermarket, and we had thought about having that: but on Monday when we went shopping the standing rib roasts looked so good that we decided to splurge and have that. We just had a couple of friends over to join us, and a nice quiet day made up for all the excitement of the past few weeks.
The children go back to school on Thursday, and we are definitely ready for them to have some structure back in their lives. I suspect that they too may be ready, though they might not admit it.


Yours, ready,
N.
