Possibilities

On a cold wet evening just days away from the first day of Winter, Ronnie found herself taking down from her newly laid out bookshelves all thirteen Christmas recipe books. Humming a Christmas carol she laid them out on the kitchen table.

Primed with a carafe of coffee, her red Christmas mug ,and a tea plate decorated with holly leaves, she moved the serving platter nearer to her. The platter held the first batch of Christmas biscuits with many more batches to follow as Christmas approached.

Feet propped up on the kitchen stool, the range warming the kitchen as the chicken casserole slowly cooked away in the oven she took the first Christmas recipe book onto her lap. Slowly she began looking through the recipes. Making notes as she went along.

Making notes of various possibilities.
