Xmas eve here, all is going great guns, caught up with some good friends, and get togethers have been arranged. Weather is looking disappointing today, no gales or torrential rain. Xmas day will be split between, time to ourselves as a family at the flat, time with my family, and an evening at the house of my best and longest standing mate and his partner, sounds wonderful. Boxing day will be spent walking off the excess on the beach with another old mate and his collection of ragbag dogs, and then putting all the excess back on back at the apartment.

You're only saying that to annoy me! Bring on the sleet and drizzle, I love it!!

Fucking lovely!! Heston's going to need to pull his thumb out to produce something to beat my mushroom.

I have to rave about the Christmas dinner I had this year:
Was invited to join one of the senior attorneys in town and his wife and son for their small Xmas dinner at home. They roasted a beast. It was THE BEST PRIME RIB I have ever had in my ENTIRE LIFE - and I have had some prime rib, lots and LOTS of prime rib!
They baste the prime rib in MAYONNAISE and seasoned it with a delightful blend of herbs/spices. They also used the beast drippings, mixed with brandy and horseradish, to make the most amazing gravy. I got the recipe and plan to make it myself for Easter - unless I can come up with an excuse to make it sooner! It was FABULOUS! My mouth waters just thinking about it.
Also had some lovely mashed potatoes, rolls and a fruit salad. But the PRIME RIB WAS TO DIE FOR!!
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
