As for the beer thing...I'm largely with you there man...never much liked it, on occasion I'll drink it to get drunk with a buddy, but even we both agree that it tastes like piss (although certain german beers, higher-end aust. beers, or something exceptionally cold on an exceptionally hot day where you drink it in about 2 seconds before actually tasting it...exceptions), me and him actually put melon flavoured schnapps in our last lot. Made honeydew melon beer...it was kind've an improvement, but I can think of better. Actually, it's surprising how easy and cheap it can be to make something MAD tasty and as alcoholic as you want, with just a few decent ingredients..adding fresh fruit to stuff is just crazy...love it. Oh, forgot something I bought that I'll be doing with the roast dinner/lunch dealy. Got a 1/4 of a large pumpkin, so, I'll be slow roasting it in the oven, with olive oil, salt, pepper, a little chilli, and nutmeg. Either to me eaten whole, or mashed. I wanna get a goose to cook one of these years. |
My Christmas eating officially started yesterday - had a few friends over for lunch.
Started with french onion soup Then roast chicken with lemon and thyme And desert was a frozen yoghurt with honey and berries in it. A few bottles of Henschke Eleanor's Cottage Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon helped the celebrations along nicely. The next couple of days will be visiting relatives. |
I'm thinking roast chicken, sausage apple stuffing, yams, and corn. Most likely pumkin pie for desert.
Nobody likes stuffing much except me... *rubs hands together and cackles* |

Looks like the bread and butter pudding is sorted.
Just went out with Spal and bought a couple loaves of light wholemeal with sultanas, eggs, and some strawberry conserve. I'll make the custard myself (creme anglais anyways...:rolleyes: ), the rest is pretty much a matter of adding the right spices and putting the rest of the shit together. and then the strangest thing...but it was great...on our way out of the shopping complex, as we were getting on our bikes, this guy comes out and says "it's coming" and runs the other way. The sky was pretty overcast, but the day has been sooooo hot...next set of lights, big fat drops start falling, then it went torrential within a minute...it absolutely BELTED down for the next 10 minutes. Just another example of our sometimes erratic weather here. So, we pulled into a McD's and grabbed a couple of burgers, which we ate there, and they were actually fresh for once, so, that there's two peices of weirdness in one day. As we were heading off, the rain subsided, but we had a light downpour all the way home on our bikes...coolness... Actually, there's been a bit more rain than usual here this time of year, could be for the first time in about 7-8 years we won't have a stinking hot christmas day. So, yeah...kinda off track there, but I had a story to tell... |

Tomorrow morning I will make a nice big breakfast for my BF and my Mom and I. Probably some scrambled eggs w/green peppers, onions, tomatoes and chives, dash of garlic salt and pepper. With maybe some bacon on the side. Then I will bake some popovers with parmesan and paprika, sooooooooo delicous.
Then off to my Grams for xmas there and big dinner. I am going to bring homemade cranberry sauce, it is so easy to make but so good. Not as tart, more sweet. We will be having Turkey this year instead of Ham which is fine with me cause my neighbor gave us 2 big hams and 5 small ham hocks, we have enough ham for next year. I made a yummy split pea soup that came out really nice. Along side the turkey the basic sides, potatoes, green bean cassrole, gravy ect and a couple other new dishes I am sure. There will be so much food, my family is huge. Yummy. Happy Holidays everyone! |
