Next: hand-chop half a kilo of mushrooms into 2mm pieces, to make the stuffing for mushroom pancakes. (I usually make double quantities, so this won’t be as bad as previous years.)

First pancake of the batch came out OK. This isn’t normal - something bad is clearly going to happen later.

@ghost_bird never made Polish pancakes before but usually making crepes the first one is a sacrifice to make sure the rest come out okay. Please don't short mysterious dark forces a pancake, it can't end well.

@Murkrow These are regular crepes, which is why I’m worried. Maybe I’ll make the last one a sacrifice to the Pancake Gods...

@ghost_bird maybe they'll just take one at random from the middle of the batch

@Murkrow (The proper Polish thing is little mushroom-filled dumplings to go in the soup. This is my mother’s Anglo-Polish Christmas Eve cooking.)

@ghost_bird god I love cultural fusions! Mushroom pankakes sounds like the best of both worlds tbh - I don't know about everywhere else but here it's not Christmas until you've had a hot pancake or waffle to stave off frostbite at the Christmas Market

Pancakes filled and folded. Next: peel beetroot and celeriac for soup. Then I’m into the home stretch - just the fish and potatoes. (Should be carp but I couldn’t be bothered this year. Salmon with a nice cream-and-herb sauce.)

Soup is on. My hands are parts of the kitchen are stained with beetroot, like an unconvincing stage murder.
