Two days ago I made Sima which is Finnish Lemon Mead. This morning the corks were lying on the other side of the kitchen so the mead must be done. I have made this before and it is pleasant but a bit strong. That should be no surprise as it is Finnish. The recipe makes six quarts so if a Russian tank comes up the driveway I will invite them for cocktails.
The past week has had several unseasonable balmy days but Winter is here. It is not bitterly cold but cold enough. After all it is the middle of December in New England and about time for some cold. Seeing people in shorts and tee shirts is not right for this time of year. That is not the proper dress for going over the river and through the woods.
I had been thinking of having roast goose for Christmas. That was until I priced one at the market. Fifty-seven dollars for a meal's main dish is a bit steep and a rib roast would be much cheaper and satisfying. Goose farming must be a very lucrative business. Scads of wild geese fly over the house in the Fall. Poached goose must also be very satisfying. A nice thick steak or piece of haddock is definitely in the future.
That's all the news from Lake Boondocks. I miss the city!
