What's for Dinner, Christmas Day, Dec. 25, 2025 [View all]

I'm going out for Chinese with friends! I've already decided what I'm ordering:

Stir fry mixed vegetables
(menu says it's Chinese leaves, pak choy, carrots, and asparagus)
Spicy chicken with peanuts
Of course, some shrimp toast.

I might order even more so I don't have to cook for the next day or two. I'm in trouble: didn't get my expense reports done plus I'm being told I have to zero out all accounts, meaning I have to spend a lot of $$ on garden stuff before 12/31. (woe is me, back of hand to head).

Have you ever had anyone tell you that you have to go spend money on stuff you love? I'm thinking a wood chipper would be nice.....
