December Staycation

Hello and Welcome to 2021~ I hope you are having a rocking time. 
Okay, before we get too deep into this staycation post let me be honest on two points:

1. I worked my ass off in December. #Truestory
2. Nothing can replace the thrill of traveling to another country. 

I worked all through the holidays because we really couldn’t jet off anywhere and I was happy to have the opportunities presented to me. 

Work = more money for travel, after all

Plus we have to wait until the pandemic is over to do much of anything, because it is still raging in the US. So we tried to make the most of life by cooking, (and eating) new dishes, saving for that BIG trip, and getting clear on where we want to live next. 

Greece?

Back to Rome?

Australia?

So many possibilities!
I'm also working on a December food diary post - And before you ask, yes I will include the recipes.  I made everything from Vegan Ch'kin and Dumplings to Apple Pie last month.

Vegan Ch'kin Dumplings in progress.....

I also managed to meet my 2020 reading challenge over at Goodreads.

Setting a challenge really helped me monitor how much I was reading... OR NOT reading as the case was...

Which will end up being its own post too. If you are on GoodReads as well please friend me and lets compare notes on books, k?

So overall my December Staycation ended up being a busy time! I can't wait to see how this year goes.

Catch you later~
