Karma

Guess who?

A few weeks ago Mom tried to explain karma. More on that in a minute.

On Thursday, The Bigs went skiing without me. It was a powder day. I was not impressed. They sat in an hour of traffic and got two runs in over the course of two hours due to wind closures of lifts and large crowds.

That’s karma, right Mom?

This week we had Indian fried rice

and lemon brussel sprout pasta.

For New Years we did not have our usual posole. Instead we had pizza. The Bigs had mushroom and cashew ricotta. I had PEPPERONI.

We did have our usual margaritas, though.

And for dessert, we had chocolate avocado pie.

The next morning we had gallo pinto (Costa Rican rice and beans) for breakfast

and then hit the slopes.

For dinner we had watercress and chickpea soup with rose water and ras el hanout

and avocado toast with coconut bacon for breakfast the next day.

I ‘helped’ out in the afternoon.

Most people cook wearing an apron, long johns, and knee socks, right?

This is why helped was in quotes,

but you’ll clean it up won’t you, Mom?

Was the mess worth it? Yes, we were making Grandma Marie’s Greek cookies (yes, we know there are supposed to be candied cherries on top. They taste good anyway!):

Today we ALMOST made the rainbow chair. So close!

That’s right. NO green circles needed for this guy.

Good-bye 2020. We will never forget you.

How will you challenge yourself this year?

We wish you a VERY Happy New Year.
