There are about five minutes a day when the low December sun creates magic in my decorated loft.

With the addition of two more little strings of lights that no one but me will notice, I declare my house fully decorated for Christmas!

I was trying to decide which look to stick with, when I realized I can switch it back-and-forth this often as I want to!

Made myself a nice little semi-homemade dinner of black beans and rice with turkey andouille sausage served on a bed of fresh baby spinach and arugula with requisite tasty toppings. Not bad for a Monday!

80% finished decorating, and I’m veryhappy with how things are shaping up. All that’s left now is the fun part, putting the ornaments on the tree. 🌲

I had an impossibly delicious cocktail at lunch. Far more like a punch than a bloody Mary.

Seany Claus?
19.11.2025 17:53 — 👍 9 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0So true! Although when I was growing up, the only form I saw cabbage in was coleslaw, and I hated that.
19.11.2025 01:37 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Mine had been judging me in similar fashion, as had the pound of grown beef that I thawed. I did it with smoked paprika, garlic, onions, celery, green and red bell pepper, a can of fire roasted tomatoes, some beef bouillon paste, and tomato paste. Yum.

Cooked up a whole bunch of cabbage tonight. Dinner for the rest of the week unless I decide to freeze half of it. Turned out so tasty!
