I'm in a similar situation although my mother's still at home for now. My uncle and maybe my aunt (who's already in the local nursing home) will be here on Christmas Day, which is a silly and awkward arrangement since I'm an atrocious host and cook, but it's somehow become customary. I guess it beats the alternative which is zero meaningful human contact on Christmas, but I would like to have the chance to try that one year.

An online friend of mine mentioned smoking bishop the other day. I've never tried it but I'm curious. Could be a sign to mix some up for myself. You got a secret recipe?
