We have way too much candy in our house. Boxes and boxes of it, sent from distant relatives. For the past few years I've decided on a cut-off date - and today's the day.
I take all the unopened candy - and there's literally a shopping bag full - to a women's shelter. They always appreciate it, both staff and the families staying there over the Christmas holidays and I feel that we've done something positive.
When my daughter was still living with us, it was our secret routine - to sneak that extra candy out of the house before my husband was aware of it. Because if it stayed - it would get eaten. She's visiting now and doesn't want any back with her so she just gave me her share.
We've had our pig out and it's been lovely. Now we're on to a week of light meals - soup, fish and in particular a fish stew recipe we both love that is very healthy and tasty.
