A holiday break for nice foods

[mtbc]

For these few days around Christmas I have decided to treat myself by dropping much of my routine healthful food and fasting, instead simply eating what I will enjoy. Lunch today includes a ready meal of chicken fettucine alfredo to which I am adding more broccoli as I still had some left in the refrigerator. I also have some jalapeno poppers in the oven. My dessert afterward is some of the parkin I baked last weekend together with a banana and some Reese's pieces. For later on I shall probably opt for a small beef and bean chili cornbread pie and some of a bar of classic fruit cake that I was pleased to find as I can regard it as being this year's Christmas cake.

Update: I should add that I have a Cornish hen thawing in the refrigerator for tomorrow.
