Merry Christmas
Happy Belated Festivus and Happy New Year To All
festivus
We are hosting Christmas dinner for friends tomorrow -- the first time I've ever hosted! -- and we're doing boneless leg of lamb with garlic and anchovies (because traditionally turkey is for Thanksgiving over here -- that's when you get stuffing and gravy and cranberry sauce/jelly). A friend is picking up Brussels sprouts from a nearby BBQ restaurant, since they do an amazing raspberry and bacon sauce on them 🙂
Will there be airing of grievances and feats of strength?
Probably some of the former but hopefully not the latter 🙂
We're just doing the traditional route, except chicken instead of turkey
more like a sunday roast.
Sunday on a Thursday 🙂
I keep trying to encourage my friends to wrap their turkey in bacon for roasting -- that's how I always had it growing up -- but these days my friends are much more concerned about salt and fat so no one wants the addition of bacon 😞 🥓 which makes me sad... how can you say "no" to bacon?
Shocking!
I like this time of year, I can do non-work stuff 🙂
I'm working straight through -- but since my work only takes part of my day, I can also do non-work stuff 🙂
