That was a fun puzzle for Xmas morning. Opening gifts
By the fire with grandchildren all around then — aha, like opening a great gift, there it was. Mimosa, golf, nap.
Merry Xmas to fellow muggles in the bond.

Ashore. Had the AHA moment in the middle of the night Christmas Eve. Santa must have whispered a hint into my ear.

I had to google this but it sounds yummy! I am adding that to my list of "to try" recipes. Which reminds me, where's that Muggle recipe book/page?

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.

In between cooking and cleaning and eating I managed to solve. We sat down for lunch yesterday and I told my captive audience they needed to help with the meta. Christmas spirit prevented them from groaning. I quickly solved once I explained the clues. 100% for me.

Our daughter and her boyfriend and their puppy are visiting. Daughter is in charge of today’s dinner:
- Roasted chicken with carrots
- Roasted garlic mashed potatoes
- Sautéed French green beans
- Tarte Normande aux pommes

In addition to many cookies, I also made my son’s favorite holiday dishes of
- Sweet potato pudding
- Cranberry salad
- Orange cranberry cake for Christmas breakfast

Thought I posted last night, but apparently not. Done and done. Merry Christmas everyone.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.
