had a most wonderful visit with a dear friend who I haven’t seen for ages…

one of those people where the conversation just continues as though you’d seen one another the day before…

lots of talk about plants and gardens and how integral they are for both of us…

health and family also were covered…

and I received a container of delicious date squares…

so blessed to have time with special people…

finally got around to making some red lentil curry…

hadn’t made this recipe for a very long time, so had to follow the recipe so as not to miss anything, particularly as there are many spices in it…

ended up using two pots so that it wouldn’t overflow the pan I started with, lol…

five and a half containers in total…

so, in today’s Canada Post mail, I received a letter from my house insurance company advising that a payment was due on December 14th…

the date on the letter was November 23rd…

I called my insurance company right away and paid the invoice over the phone…

my first question to my agent was whether the house had been uninsured since mid December…

thankfully the house was covered…

I have now entered the date for the next payment to be sure it doesn’t get missed, lol…

had fun with flowers Monday morning…

picked up the bouquet on December 29th when we were out grocery shopping;-)…

as there were already flowers in the living room, the bouquet went into the den…

the living room flowers were done, so I rearranged the newer flowers into three little vases…

playing with flowers makes me so happy;-)…

I’ve been looking at comforters for the last while and decided to order one for a January treat, but waited in case I got one for Christmas…

it arrived a few days ago in a tiny package which happily swelled up considerably when the plastic was removed…

once everything was laundered it was put on the bed…

I am very happy with how it looks;-)…

for New Year’s dinner we tried something new…

we had prime rib… for many years we would have steak and lobster with twice-stuffed potatoes…

so this was fun to try… cooking the prime rib was interesting… first, it had to sit on the counter for six hours to reach room temperature, then it went into the oven at 500°F for half an hour, and finally the oven was turned off and it sat inside it for two hours…

quite the process, but it came out perfect for those of us who enjoy rare meat;-)…

there were mashed potatoes, mushrooms, Brussels sprouts with carrots, little Yorkshire puddings, and gravy…

delicious…

ten years ago today, this was my lunch… which included lobster, steak, and avocado…

and this was my lunch today… which included prime rib and avocado… no lobster though…

can’t decide if I am that boring, or if it was serendipitous;-)…
