Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. And I am getting food ready today so that tomorrow is less hectic. I've boiled, pureed and floured some sweet potatoes and they will sit over night and become imelletty perunalaatikko for tomorrow. Rutabegas are still boiling and I'll get that ready now to go into the oven tomorrow. I remember always skipping these dishes as a child, but now I'm preparing lanttulaatikko and rosolli, of which I'd only take the obligatory spoonful not too many years back. Perhaps my taste is more refined now... or perhaps I wish to torture my family with barely edible foods.
