Bah Humbug!

And a happy new (covid) year.

I much prefer Chocolate Oranges over Mint Humbugs!

Ditto Happy Christmas James and Steve

Doesn't make much difference if you pour enough hot brandy sauce over them!!

Mum's Brandy Butter is lethal! The operative word is BRANDY! (Courvoisier is her preferred choice!). You HAVE to wait until the pudding has been out for at least five minutes before putting the brandy butter on it, otherwise it might well re-ignite with a large WHOOMPH (that will take off your eyebrows)!

I can’t see the point in wasting decent alcohol by mixing it with butter

My son is a talented drummer, apparently so father crimbo appears to have done this awful thing....

I hope that one of your presents to Mrs. M was the twin of one she bought you; industrial ear protection!

[CitroJim]

I bet your neighbours love you Mike!

Good to see a successor to Cozy Powell* in the making

I've got a 10 minute pass from the kitchen, just time to show you the excellent Xmas pressie I got from my friend in Elstree, I know when I'm not wanted!!

Own work

Mick, that's magic

We had a “power cut” at about 1pm - not long after we switched the oven on to heat it up.

Turns out it wasn’t a power cut. It was one of the elements blowing in the oven tripping the breakers! Obviously I switched all the plugs and lights off, reset the breakers and went round switching on each item to see what tripped it. Nothing. Put it to a power surge, left the oven to heat... only it didn’t and we didn’t spot it until 2 ish so we are running a bit late!

Fortunately some friends saved us with use of their oven, and I’m just off to get the turkey now..

Here’s Mrs. Michel with the turkey on it’s way to be cooked!

[mickthemaverick]

Well that sure is a different way to stuff a turkey!!

[CitroJim]

Oh bu***r, that's not a good time for the oven to decide to go in strike Mike

Pleased it did not end in disaster

Enjoy an awesome Boxing Day all
