'tis the season, bitches!

Are you all infected with the holiday spirit, or is that a head cold? Oh, you poor things.

I'm off to a slow start this week, my little Christmas elves, my sparkling Hanukkah faeries, my prancing Kwanzaa unicorns. It was a busy weekend here at GFD headquarters—I didn't even have time to weave my puppy a sweater made of tinsel and bring him to the mall to have his photo taken with Santa, let alone shop for, cook, photograph, and write about food. (No, I just ate food, and plenty of it.)

But I have great plans for this week. I hope to post my holiday dessert wish list, and because this bl*g is called Gruel for Dinner, I will also tell you about a little kale dish I've been loving. Until then, gesundheit!
