Done yesterday (20111225 Su Newtonmass)

[mdlbear]

Yesterday we did our usual Christmas/Newton's Birthday thing, making a huge pot of Ukrainian borscht and telling our friends they were welcome to come over. About a dozen of them did, and we now have only about 1/3 of the borscht left.

This was probably my most successful borscht yet; it was much more of a stew than a soup and had more beet (six bunches) and more beef than usual. Very much to yum.

I did a fair amount of singing, and generally managed to stay out in the living room being sort of social a little more than usual.
