Christmas week, Yayyy.. A little different this Christmas ! Going to be quiet, we had an early Christmas Dinner as Ian had to go back to work and he will be there over Christmas , our Christmas was very quiet Just David and I. Ian was back at camp . David made it very Special, I got some Langoustia pans amazing , a new fave perfume, the best was we face time the grand Kids, Not being being able to hug your loved ones is a really tough thing.. It really affects everyone in a different way! A phone call, test or face tome just to say Hi, are you OK.. Goes a long way..
For Christmas dinner we had leftover turkey but still had a full Christmas dinner .. I have been hobbelong around Dr told me I had arthritis in my knee , I went back he changed meds I have strained a tendon in my knee, so I cant do to much .. My HomeChristmas Pudding was amazing !! Rum Sauce the way my mom did it yummy’’
I made a lot of home made gifts this year Santa hats , I made Kitchen hand towels that hang off the oven , From my tomatoes I made a tomato Chutney it is really tasty, I also made a cranberry apple preserve for the turkey, I couldn’t not do my pickled red onions !! I also crochet the bags the gifts went in to , I loved every second.. Oh Christmas Morning we made eggs benny!! Amazing
New years eve, we had a beautiful ribeye steak, twice baked potatoes and garlic mushrooms, an amazing wine Thank you Charlene and Don!!
