wiseheartI made a huge batch of Christmas candies - mostly give them away for the Naming Days of four colleagues, disguised as home-made pralines. Photos later, as they're not properly decorated yet. That took me all morning, so the planned writing didn't take place at all. *sigh*
On the plus side, Mum has a new telly now. It's a medium-sized flatscreen and she's fairly content with it, so that's good. A bit bigger than the old, non-digital one, needs some getting used to, but in the end it wasn't outrageously expensive, and Service Guy did all the shopping and installing for us, for which we are grateful. We're both a bit technically challenged. *g*
Having back the gas is a delight. We actually cooked today (well, Mum did), some very simple Hungarian dish the name of which I can't even translate. It's a specific way to serve vegetables that, I think, is quite unique to our cuisine. At least I never saw it in any other country. And we had fricadelles with it, or whatever they are called in English. They are basically fried mince-meat balls - the dish Americans turned into hamburgers, eventually, just tasty and not dry like sawdust. (Do I need to mention that I'm not a fan of hamburgers?)
That's all for today. For some odd reason I feel like I'd been very lazy today. God knows why.
