It's been raining for a week straight and I'm not even in Oregon! My yard is one giant puddle. The friendly neighborhood skunk is taking shelter in my heating vent system. Jasper cat got a good dose of it first thing this morning. Merry Christmas kitty! Not sure if he'll need a bath or if it will wear off on it's own.

To make Christmas extra complicated I took it upon myself to make a meatless, wheat-less, egg-less, dairy-less, oil-less, soy-less lasagna. I just love impossible challenges! Here's a picture... (before baking). It was surprisingly satisfying, though it couldn't compete with the 'real deal'.



Dessert consisted of pumpkin squares topped with macadamia nut and date topping.


I am happy to be able to kick back and relax now. All in all it was a nice Christmas. Hope yours was too.
