The cross-stitched image above is Wire Whimsy Snow Angel. I swear I picked up that partially completed kit, then put it down. When I got home he was in my stack of sewing patterns purchased at thrift.
Mrs. Claus sewing cabinet ornament was offered at online auction.
I will share recipes from holiday publications. Day 1 recipe is from Norman Rockwell's Christmas Book from 1977.
ROAST GOOSE WITH POTATO STUFFING
Singe, remove pinfeathers, wash and scrub a goose in hot soapsuds; then draw (which is removing inside contents). Wash in cold water and wipe. Stuff, truss, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and lay six thin strips fat salt pork over breast. Place on rack in drip-pan, put in hot oven and bake two hours. Baste every fifteen minutes with fat in pan. Remove pork last half-hour of cooking. Place on platter, cut string, and remove string and skewers. Garnish with watercress and bright red cranberries, and place potato apples between pieces of watercress. Serve with apple sauce.
POTATO STUFFING
2 cups hot mashed potato
1-1/4 cups soft stale bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped fat salt pork
1 finely chopped onion
1/3 cup butter
1 egg
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sage
Add to potato, bread crumbs, butter, egg, salt, and sage; then add pork and onion.
Each day will feature a Christmas CD. What I am listening to Sounds of the Season 1998. Spice Girls!
