Only a hippopotamus will do...

Well Merry Christmas everyone!

The restaurant is closed Christmas Eve and Day, which gives me enough of a break to relax, but not enough to head anywhere. Although checking out all the weather and delays across the country, seems I might not have gotten anywhere anyway. This past weekend, my roomie and I went and picked out a Christmas tree, which was a nice first for me. He also seems to be a bit of a Christmas decoration hoarder as the apartment has glittering globes and sequined fruit, lights and garland pretty much everywhere you look. A tiny Christmas wonderland if you will.

I'm not quite sure what I'll be doing tomorrow, as I have a couple invites if I want them, or I might just enjoy my day off relaxing and making use of the cheese I tried my hand at today. There is currently a ball of perhaps too firm mozzarella and bowl of not-the-best ricotta in my fridge with the makings of pizza dough hanging around. So homemade pizzas are in my future at some point that might not be too fantastic, but will be made completely from scratch. And Haagen-Dazs has peppermint bark ice cream, which was a nice early Christmas present I bought myself. Delicious.
