Mop Philosophy Monday

 Just when you think you're ready for Christmas, you wake up and there's only a week to go and still a long list swirling around your head.
First step is to write down the list, I should have done this at 3am but instead I was awake thinking about it for a couple of hours.  Which is probably just as well because I think I have my menus sorted now for next weekend.
We'll be doing a dinner on Christmas Eve and a big midday meal on Christmas Day (this will allow Poppa to head back home on Christmas Day before it gets dark).
My Rascals will all be home too (!) so the key is not just to plan the big meals but to have lots and lots of provisions on hand for breakfast, lunches, snacks and regular dinners.

 I definitely need to go to the Happy Store (liquor store) today.  Lots of wine is needed as well as some more Cassis, which is a very delicious and easy dessert poured over vanilla ice cream.  (Incidentally, I've found a non-dairy ice cream called Coconut Bliss that is divine, I'll try to find some today so I can show you the label.)

 It's a good time of year for Hot Toddies too, does anyone have a favourite recipe?  They seem to be made with either bourbon, rum or whiskey, (added to a honey and lemon base) but which is the best?

 For dinners we're definitely going to have some more roasted sweet potatoes.
I've been craving them since I made them for our dinner on Friday, and so many vitamins to sneak into The Rascals!

So easy too.
How's your Monday shaping up?  Still have a long list to tick off before Christmas?  Do you have your menus sorted?
Have a really good one and enjoy the process,
