Everything smells so yummy and good.

I am not even doing holiday cooking right now, but the food smells are great. Start with the fresh pot of coffee that just was brewed. Add to that a small pot of leftovers, pork loin chops with mushroom sauce, that I am warming up for tonight. Then there is the lemon. I was removing the zest from two lemons. I am using it to infuse white wine vinegar for a recipe I will make in two weeks. I learned from a sad experience, that if you are infusing vinegar and the jar lid is metal it is important to put waxed paper or plastic wrap on top of the jar before putting on the lid. I had some dill vinegar that I had infused, but when finished did not put plastic in the lid. The lid corroded. Tomorrow is back to school. We just got word that one pre school teacher is positive for covid and will stay out all week. I wonder who else became ill. I wonder if we will take off early for Christmas? With covid you can never tell.
