15. Finally!

A respectable effort, considering I spent last night in the Urgent Care (infection--I assume I'll live).

My vegan ham should rest in the fridge overnight before I roast it with a glaze, so it's a bit softer than it should be, but pretty good. I'd forgotten to get pineapple so in desperation, used my expensive raspberry jam with a little frozen OJ, maple syrup, cloves, and onion powder, and it's really good. Add in some roasted tatties and carrots, leftover stuffing from Thanksgiving (froze the second half), and with an apple pie for dessert, and darned if it isn't a bit festive.

Will definitely use the preserves again!

Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow, work notwithstanding.
