Prep and cook the veg
Get the victoria sponge done

It begins. This is the thread of Christmas Day prep.
The Victoria Sponge cake part has been baked and is cooling. I added a splash of orange juice this time for fun.
Once it's fully cooled, I'll wrap and put to one side to finish tomorrow morning.

⚡️'May he perish,' — Zelensky voices Ukrainians' wish in his Christmas Eve address.
"'May he perish,' each of us may think to ourselves," Zelensky said, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin. "But when we turn to God, of course, we ask for something greater. We ask for peace for Ukraine."

I know it's Christmas Eve, but an Ontario animal sanctuary (pet pigs, horses, etc) just had their water tank system fail. It's going to cost over $3000 to fix it, and it's an emergency situation (the animals have to have water).

My favorite "media colleague" troll has now threatened to find me and punch me lol.
He's so dumb. Literally, there's a Twitter thread of him threatening violence.
This guy is so insecure.
What really made him flip is out when I called him the Fredo of the family after his repeated insults.

Not a historian but like to research. The AI might summarize what I'm looking for, but it doesn't find what I'm *not* looking for. The book on the shelf next to the one I wanted. The insight in chapter 6 based on the quote I needed from chapter 4.
