There’s only one work week left, and I’m looking forward to having the Christmas days off. It’ll be the first time that I’m cooking Christmas dinner. Even though we’re only going to be three people, it is new to me, and I want it to be perfect. Well, maybe not perfect, but the dinner has to taste great, and that’s not easy to guarantee; it is impossible to taste the duck beforehand. I’m worried about the Danish caramelized potatoes. I want to bake them in the oven, which I tested a couple of times but was unsuccessful. I will try again this week, and it has to end up with a good recipe; that’s a lot of pressure.

I’ve decorated the house like I want, and the dessert is also taken care of because my mom is bringing it. She loves risalamande, so she is making it. I don’t like it.

My Christmas jigsaw puzzle is almost finished, and I expect it to be finished before my last work day before Christmas.
