Seems like it should be an auspicious day -- a date that happens once a century -- but my plans are pretty mundane. I need to go to the DMV, the grocery store, and pick up a few presents and some wrapping paper. I am going to start my Christmas cookies this afternoon, though, and that should be fun. I will crank the Christmas music up and taste all the dough before it goes into the oven! :)
Pete and I went into Manhattan for a Christmas party on Monday, held at the Regency Whist Club on the Upper East Side, just steps away from Central Park, which was shrouded in fog. The weather was horrendous -- really warm and very wet, which was not much fun -- but the party was. I wanted to look at the Holiday Shops at Grand Central and the windows at Lord & Taylor, so we did that, too, and stopped for a snack at Le Pain Quotidian. I took bad photos on my iPhone -- just warning you.
Sounds like a great plan to me, tasting the dough before putting them in the oven. Have fun making all those Christmas cookies. My mouth is watering just thinking of it.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine all the beautiful storefront all decorated for Christmas. I've seen some displays on the web. The downtown must get seriously crowded on the weekend. I think that Monday was a good day to be there.
Have a great rest of the week Sarah.
