In the kitchen















On Christmas, I spend lots of time in the kitchen. It's one of the few times I get to bake, these days. Joe is in charge of the cookies for the most part, and these can be done ahead, but breads and coffee cakes should be made up fresh. Zhao and Leonard Li were interested in helping, which I much appreciated.

With so much activity in the kitchen, Butter, our orange tabby, retreated from his accustomed perch on the counter top and took up residence in an Amazon box.
