;)

Nothing today, although in the last few weeks I have had a lot (and I really do mean a lot) of stollen. I have a weakness for pretty much anything with marzipan in - I can't get enough of it. Actually, all I've eaten today is two slices of toast, with Marmite. And I'm not hungry...something wrong there.

Stick a sprig of holly on top of the fish and voila instant Christmassy sensation.

I don't think two biscuits and a cup of coffee count as seasonal fare here, do they?

A couple of Quality Streets? Do they count as Christmassy? They do in this house, anyway.:p

RASHER BLAAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, most of you won't have an iota of an idea of what I am on about. But, a rasher is a strip of bacon, with a lot more meat. And a blaa is a freshly baked breadroll, you can only get in Waterford Ireland.

Its not really Christmassy, but given the fact that I've had neither for a long time since I moved to the US last year, it's a huge treat!!!

Oh, and my mother's already broken out the Christmas candy, and of course, dipped into the alcohol stash as we wrapped the kids presents last night, wrapping presents and getting drunk while severely jet lagged and staying up till 4am, it can only happen at Christmas!!!

A couple of Quality Streets? Do they count as Christmassy? They do in this house, anyway.:p

They count as Christmassy in our house too, as we only get them at Christmas. Same for Celebrations, Roses, Hero's, Jelly Belly's....

To rephrase: the *day* of 24th december is nothing special. The evening is. As is the following day.

i had a cheese sandwhich adn to make it christmasy i kissed it under the misteltoe that is invisible and just there!!

Chocolate Macaroons, coffee spiked with Bailey's... going out shortly to pick up substantial amounts of delectable Xmas gnosh.

a baby. Toasted just right and crispy too.

I had a bowl of cereal.

What? When you wake up on Christmas morning, do you immediately tuck into a full turkey dinner?

I had wonton noodle soup for breakfast.

Lets see, I've had a pretzel dipped with dark chocolate, with parts of candy cane sprinkled on, and later today, my family is having some traditional Polish food.

EDIT: We are having some Ziti later tonight.

bread and olive oil and a piece of baklava

I had a bowl of cheerios and a chocolate truffle for breakfast dessert just because it was calling my name, and who am I to say no to chocolate?

I had some fruitcake the other day....it made me feel not-so-good.

Nothing yet, but we're gonna have a big Christmas Eve Dinner tonight.

bread and olive oil and a piece of baklava
I'm in the process of making homemade baklawa (lebanese spelling) right now. This is my third batch and haven't gotten a tase yet. Give it away for gifts. This one is for the family.

Veal Shank- God that was so good.
Tommorow is Christmas Ham:D

Cookies, cookies and yet more cookies...

Guess what I work with.

For lunch, I had 3 cookies, a cup of English Black Tea, and 1/2 pound of pasta, with basil, garlic, cilantro, oregano, tomato sauce, four different types of peppercorns and sea salt. For dinner, I had the awesome Christmas dinner with just grilled, Bicentennial Rub-rubbed Salmon, Mashed Potatoes, Peas, all with much Tellicherry Black Peppercorns, much French Grey Sea Salt, and then a salad with Redikio, Escarole and Frisee Lettuces. Dessert: The best Pears ever, and a master-crafted Cappuccino. Ahhhhhh, I love cooking and the rewards it brings.

Rib! Sweet delicious roasted pig! Crunchy on the outside, juicy soft on the inside!

I had a Christmas Vicoden, A Christmas Tylenol 3 w/ Codiene, a Christmas Xanax, and I'm working in some Christmas Rolling Rock.

Oh, and I had a Bacon Mushroom Ommelette earlier.

Turkey, mini sausages, piggies in blankets, sprowts, baby seet corn, roast potato, bread sauce, cranberry sauce

I made a traditional German christmas dinner for some friends yesterday. Goose stuffed with apples and prunes, red cabbage and potatoe dumplings. And mousse au Lebkuchen for dessert (self-invented, and absolutely delicious)

So today, it's leftovers ;)

sounds nice :)

Chocolate

Wild boar with potatoes and mushrooms! :D Absolutely great! :D

yeah, I was told it was nice but i could see their brothers and sisters sat outside the window watching us eat and it kinda put me off

They count as Christmassy in our house too, as we only get them at Christmas. Same for Celebrations, Roses, Hero's, Jelly Belly's....
Oh yeah, totally. Though I've now had some serious mince pie action, and Christmas lunch. Proper posh, what with the turkey wrapped in "parma ham". :p

Methinks you're anthropormorphising a tad too much, Tink.

Go veggie. I had a lovely nut roast with mushrooms and a stilton sauce for lunch today. Bloody good it was too. Only thing actually Christmassy I've had today was Christmas pud. And that was crap. Bloody Tesco fucking Finest my arse. I'll bet the Value one's lovely.

they were at the window watching us eat (they do it all the time, sometimes they knock on the door too) and they looked so cute and i looked at the cooked goose, then thought of what it had looked like when i went into the barn a few days ago and blood was dripping from it's neck and i couldn't eat it

Heh.:p Try some quorn fillets with vegetable stock gravy next year. That's pretty nice.:D

It's not like I don't understand. My late mother was put off pork for a spell when she was young because one winter, one of the less-experienced farmhands slaughtered a pig - poorly. Poor little thing ran around bleeding and squealing. Ought never to have happened that way.

Sorry it put you off the goose.

roast turkey, roast spuds, roast carrots, two kinds of stuffing, gravy, saussages, sprouts...

and plenty of chocolate :)

Chocolate.
Peanuts
Cashew nuts
Fruit Salad
Pavlova
Roast Lamb
Roast Pork
Turkey
So baiscally a Roast Lunch with all the trimmings except for yams.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Ah go on.

Well, I made a gingerbread loaf yesterday and ate some more of it today. I was watching some news program and I guess they are serving them at Starbucks. It just looked good, so I decided I'd hunt around for a good recipe and tweak it a bit.

It still needs more tweaking though. 1tsp of powdered cloves is way too much for anything.

actually i found the testicles in the goose i had, was cool, just like disection in biology class back in school

Well, now it's Christmas day. Another codiene, another Xanax, a few more Rolling rocks, but don't need the vicoden today. Doesn't hurt too bad. ;)

Being disabled and having anxiety sucks ass sometimes, but the benifits ain't too bad! ;)

And just so I don't seem like a hijacking asshole, I had the most delicious Pumpkin roll that my cousins wife brought me. And some Christmas cookies, of course.

Oh, and some REALLY yummy peanutbutter fudge. MMmmmmmmmmmmm

I wish I hadn't eaten all the pumpkin roll though. lol

Santa Clause's cookies. The only other thing I've eaten today is a bagel & cream cheese -not very Christmassy.

Sorry. I can't help it.

I could put Christmas bows on my head.

My Christmassy Foodstuffs Consisted of...
Ham. Chicken. Turkey. Roast Beef. Kabana. Pasta.
And various salad-stuffs that I don't particularly care bout. :)

nothing yet

I could put Christmas bows on my head.
Could you?:)
