The stuffing had cranberries and apple. I mixed up the usual stuffing stuff, dried bread and celery and onion and chestnuts and fresh sage, and it seemed to need something sweet, so I threw in the fruits. The pork had garlic and sage and crushed allspice rubbed over it. I put it all into the oven on timer and we walked to Sundance to see the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt3722070\/\">Lady In the Van<\/a> &#8211; which I liked a lot. I had a glass of wine at the movie &#8211; because I just wanted one, and also because I felt like I needed some kind of demarcation of the day, that I was finished working. After dinner, I watched an old Downton, Season 2 finale, and had a glass or two more &#8211; which I felt in the morning, as Matthew said, &#8220;there&#8217;ll be a few thick heads in the morning.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday we had leek tart and fruit and sausages and bacon and salad for breakfast. I made date bars and tea sandwiches (<em>sanwidges<\/em>: curried chicken and banana bread with cream cheese) for the last-ever\u00a0Downton Abbey &#8211; but the tea sanwidges weren&#8217;t very photogenic so no pics.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m all on my own tonight &#8211; Megan and Mark are both in Chicago. It&#8217;s thunder storming, which is especially unnerving after watching the last scenes of Downton in the snow and <em>Auld Lang Syne<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_309\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-309\" class=\"wp-image-309 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.debslunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/downton-abbey-final-season-cast-1024x444.jpg\" alt=\"Downton Abbey Season 6 poster\" width=\"700\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.debslunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/downton-abbey-final-season-cast-1024x444.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.debslunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/downton-abbey-final-season-cast-150x65.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.debslunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/downton-abbey-final-season-cast-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.debslunch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/downton-abbey-final-season-cast.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-309\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Downton Abbey Season 6 poster<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[supsystic-slider id=5 ] So I just kept hauling stuff out of the freezer, and making it into dinner.
