Culinary Capriciousness

Most every Christmas all the siblings receive a similar type gift. This year we all received aprons with our names...or the names that we are most often called (in my case, Liezel, rather than Alissa). Despite the uniform attire, personalities emerged as we posed--characteristic Haslam silliness. What did you expect? It was a bit like spontaneous combustion Clue...Lauren with the pie cutter at Sarah's rotator cuff; Sarah with the meat mallet at Liezel's earlobe; Molly with the fine weave sieve at Aaron's noggin...etc. All in jest, of course...or so we hope. In a kitchen the size of ours and the number of bodies trying to cook and clean in one space there was apparently a fair bit of repressed angst (he he).
December is always a fun time to be home--for a number of reasons--one of which is the food. Aaron and Kristen have December birthdays that we celebrate with special request dinners, plus our Christmas Eve homemade soup, our Cornish hen Christmas Day meal, and various other delectable creations by the ever innovative Mum.
