A very plain supper, but some of our favorites. I made mashed potatoes and smashed yams. My sister brought “paradox.” (2 ducks stuffed with sauerkraut and roasted until crispy brown)
There was lots of junk food, but the best part of the whole day was the 4 of us being together and enjoying it. We are a family of strong personalities, and we don’t always get along. This was our first Christmas together in 3 years, so it was particularly sweet for my 83-yr-old mom to watch her 3 kids laughing and talking and getting along, actually enjoying being together
Wonders never cease, but I enjoyed it too. We found out that Susie (a dog) loves duck-flavored sauerkraut, and Rebecca (a cat) made a vain attempt to carry off a duck carcass. All in all, just a sweet day. And we’re still eating duck and sauerkraut. Major Yum!
