It’s good plate-work. Nice clean edges. Not crazy about … what was done with the carrots but … that’s just personal taste …

Complete with Christmas crackers. Lovely stuff.
I also have a supply of Christmas crackers in my house in July, but that's because I'm always too exhausted after cooking Xmas dinner to remember them.

Surely you put them on the table when you do the place settings? Also yes, crackers must accompany a Christmas dinner. |

That looks really nice. Like a 'light' version of Xmas dinner. A sensible summer Xmas dinner you can eat in the garden. My only gripe is that I like all mine mostly submerged in thick gravy, like it's a submarine that's just popped up for a peek. And also Yorkshires.

Also, pull THIS cracker.
Sorry, it's the heat.

Christmas crackers make Christmas dinner a grim pastiche of fun. Typically you have your main course then Xmas crackers then dessert (so that you can wear the hat/crown) then coffee crackers and cheese and jokes. |

No you pull the cracker* at the start of the meal and then look at the toy/gadget, read the motto/joke/question and then wear the hat for the rest of the day. *wahey |

Sorry for the fun deficit.
I’m watching a Britpop at the BBC programme.
For big parts of it I’ve been thinking ‘This was pretty good. “Fond memories”.’ Then Oasis appear and stink out the place. I mean I quite liked them for a bit at the time …
Time to go to bed and read about Satan …

A blast from the past, but updated - I liked it, but I am just a big kid at heart!

Felice Landry said: "What's that in the middle?" That Felice is skirlie. The PM's folks are originally from Perth. I'd never had it before I had Christmas dinner with them. It's nice. There was also bread sauce but that is food for tramps. Yeah we had croquettes instead of roasties to save on a job. The stuffing was great. Pine nuts, fruits and other things were in it. It was the main thing for the PM's sister as she's a veggie.

Consider the Antipodeans, who have to cook their Christmas dinner in those weather conditions every year, while being watched by some of the largest spiders ever invented. Not for me, Clive.

crankcaller: The Chumbles Scottish relations came from Broughty Ferry, just up the coast... Aunt Anna, the mean-spirited, incomprehensible, drunken old besom(died of liver failure), never cooked when she could get someone else to do it. So my knowledge of Scottish specialities is as limited as any other Southron. Your Mother-in-Law seems to be a cross between a Saint and Mary Berry! My fan is on; 25c already. I'd go back to sleep but it'll be too hot to do anything later, so chores start very soon

So...I went out for a spin in the motor, turned into a side road to park and... there was a middle aged woman taking her knickers off in the bay I wished to park in. So... I had to parallel park in the adjoining bay by which time she was bending over with her arse facing me, attempting to get something (pants?) from a carrier bag. I duly stepped out of the car and, as I walked past her, got full view of the rear of her thingy as she fumbled with the bag on the floor.
I don't remember such a situation being covered in my Driving Test.
p.s. She's OK though, she's now having a nap in an alleyway sporting some tracksuit bottoms.
Send the mind bleach pronto.

The in-laws have a bean to cup espresso machine. I have a perfectly good espresso machine but now want a bean to cup one.
