Cooking for nine. Turkey is brining, homemade S & O stuffing, cauliflower cheese, cranberry sauce and gravy all done and fridged. Made a mushroom soup to start and have also rolled my own pigs in blankets. Mash, roast potatoes and the veg will all be done tomorrow.

 

Big effort but it’s what Christmas is all about for me.

Had you and your wife gone in heavy on red wine and fibre rich food prior to said blockage? 

 

Strangely, red wine and anything with a high iron content turns my poo a very dark, almost black, green.

 

Google it. Its a real thing. 

 

On second thoughts, don't Google it.

 

Merry Christmas everyone lol

I have a bit of backache which has kept me awake a few nights and an absolute stinker of a cold. 

 

The tissues by my bed these last couple of nights were sad tissues, not happy tissues.

 

But still, a nip or two of medicinal single malt and I feel quite Christmassy.

You need to go spinach and liver, or steak, washed down with Red Wine.   

 

It would glow in the dark lol

I feel for you mate.

 

I'm still recovering from a slipped disc and the after effects that have made my neck hurt so much.

 

Both easing up a bit now.

 

With the cold, definitely a hot toddlie, whisky, lemon, honey and a cinnamon stick...plus, genuinely, my doctor said this to me..."Alcohol is a muscle relaxant, so it'll help your back" lol

 

Hope you feel better soon.

Coming as no surpise to anyone, that thread took a turn in a weird direction lol

 

Anyway, hope you all have a lovely day, especially those of us with peasant carrots :P

 

I'll give you all a recipe for some banging honey roasted, Rosemary Chantenays for next year.

 

I don't know how readily available Chantenays are in Spain, so I didn't want to give @FoxesDeb an extra problem at the market lol

 

But trust me, they're as good as the red cabbage.

 

Batons are fine for a normal roast, but not Xmas. Does anyone still cut carrots into little circles? Batons taste way better and I don't know why, but it's a fact.

Sadly not a fan of the honey carrot, or honey with anything really. I did always used to get the chantenay carrots but got out of the habit the last couple of years. Remind me next year. 

 

My Mum is carrot circle woman. And I've no idea why batons taste better but they definitely do.

What the fvck? lol

It's yet more wonderful work from David Shrigley. It's a while since one of his proper tickled me but this made me laugh out loud when someone unhelpfully sent it to me in the middle of the Nativity service earlier

I haven't heard of him, but the drawing immediately reminded me of this...

 

 

 

Absolute class, and the wonderful Barry Davies lol
