Missed having a jigger. Not particularly abstemious but prefer knowing what’s in the glass to the general slosh approach. So, happy to note that the little Turkish coffee cup - of which we have four, along with tiny saucers, awaiting the grand occasion on which we have guests and make Turkish coffee - is just the right size to serve as a jigger. 

At the grocery store J asks if I need sugar. I say we have sugar. This proves not to be the case, so that goes on tomorrow’s list. Assembling ingredients before Christmas, not that stores will close down on Christmas, but we may. And it may rain.

Note to self: there is no such thing as too many onions.
