ROLL ON, O YULETIDE!

The general disruption of our fives that heralds the holiday season is with us once more. We will have to cope with premature, leaking, Christmas parcels (“Do Not Open . . .”), with frantic in-laws asking our advice on gifts for hypochondriacal nieces, with drinkers sloshed on Chartreuse and self- pity for the Yuletide of yore when the snow was whiter. There will be the usual mountains of food, inspiring the folks with greed and angst. And there will be fatigue, fatigue. Since ideally the day after Christmas we should have nothing more than a hangover and indigestion, here are a few recipes for plainer and cheaper living, which can be prepared ahead of time. But first things first.
