silent.night.chocolate.penne

you woke up feeling really bad. your throat is husky and itchy, your have light headache, you are shivering in cold and sneezing.
you had a lunch appointment with a family today but you have to call it off because you're not in the right condition at all.
you took two painkillers and doze off for the rest of the afternoon, yes, literally from 10 am to 6pm you were asleep, wrapped yourself in multiple layers.
you woke up at 6pm feeling a lot better, it's was like you just been through a battle, you feel tired but better, at least your mind is clear.
you're hosting a Christmas lunch tomorrow and he was worry if you have to cancel the lunch if you are not fit to cook.  worst thing is you already got the turkey, and nice cut of meat if the Christmas meal is called off someone will have to eat them another day.
thanked God you feel fitter, you manage to massage and season the turkey, prepare your beef wellington and even to an extend bake a cake for tomorrow. now the cranberry sauce is ready, the chocolate ganache for the cake is ready, the turkey just need to send to the oven for a two hour roast.

you are alone today since he has a night shift. so you whisked out a simple chocolate penne following nigella lawson's recipe if you are not wrong.  a one person dish, a combination of main and dessert.  you topped your chocolate penne with toast pecan and dried apricot, and a drizzle of butterscotch sauce. done! it's simple, it's festive to you.
it's silent night. may you feel the peace and the joy that the world cannot give.  the peace from God to man through His son Jesus, who commemorately born on 25th december.
have a blessed Christmas!
