I decided to do ham for Christmas this year. 4.68 pounds of honey-baked goodness.

I would have gone for more, but ham is a lot more expensive than turkey - my Thanksgiving turkey was 27 lbs, but the grocery store was clearing out their frozen turkeys to make way for the fresh turkeys, so I got it for 39 cents a pound.

;;;
Holy smoked pig flesh !
THat's a really cheap price for turkey !
I paid $2.39 a pound for the Turkey (they always put the price on as per pound) but they have the weight on the individual products tag in kilo's ?!?

I also bought a ham...mum called to say that since we did turkey & prime rib last year, she wanted ham as well, when I went to Costco... there was a serious collection of Christmas candy & chocolate out at that place ! ! !
I got bailey's filled chocolates, Brandy beans, icy cups, piroulenes (looks like a thick pencil, some kind of wonderful waffer tube full of tasteyness !) & a 48 pack of ferrero rocher (there wasn't any packages bigger) plus almonds & cashews, walnuts & peanuts .
Today we're making peanut brittle, almond bark & peanut butter balls as well as meat pies.

Visiting freinds , family and the food(s) are IMO the best part of the christmas season !

5 days and counting :)

All my relatives are either dead or on drugs.

HO HO HO!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Well, at least my parents are alive.... for now.

If it makes you feel any better, I've got a friend who's going to spend Christmas in the hospital.

4 months ago the guy was on his Hayabusa (or some other little slick tire crotch rocket) coming to work, and sped through an intersection when the tractor trailer in front of him slowed down... but he had no brake lights. He was jacked up as all hell, and they had to fuse part of his collar bone back together with a titanium plate.

he's been back to work now for about 3 weeks, and he got his bike back late last week from where he was having it rebuilt. Wednesday, another coworker's friend found the bike shattered to pieces on the interstate (again, coming to work), and my friend was found about 10 feet from the wreckage. The crash jarred him hard enough to break several rips AND rip the titanium plate in his shoulder loose, re fracturing his collarbone.

So... yeah. Merry Christmas all. :-\

The moral of the story is ? ? ? ?
Some people really just shouldn't own motorcycles...& if they own them, they should drive them !

He's learned his lesson, this time. A guy from another department went and visited him in the hospital the other day and asked him what the hell he was thinking, and apparently he said that he would be selling his other bike as soon as he's able to.

Guy's ,I'm just finishing helping make peanut brittle with my lover. I've got/had this pot with like a cup of almond brittle 'left overs' molten hot and when I went over by the counter (from the stove) I seen some left over bacon strips from breakfast.........& yep I poured it on top of the bacon...

Well my sweetie thought i wasted it...we're just finishing the last of it !
bacon with hard brittle style candy & almonds ! It's really good.

Also I ended up with 7 meat pies, 2 are made of a blend of beef & pork. three have pastry tops 4 have mashed potato tops.

Last year for St. Pat's I made shepherd's pie muffins - filled a muffin cup with mashed potato then made a little well in the center of each one and filled it with ground beef, peas, and Guinness. Highly recommended.

Today Evark traveled up to ski with me at the mountain I work at. We had some fun on the slopes and later Timmy arrived. I set them both up for the night and while Evark is going to have to work Monday and Wednesday he might come back up Tuesday for some more skiing and Timmy is going to stick around until Wednesday. We're going to do a day at another mountain on Tuesday and I'll spend at least one day at my mountain with Timmy tomorrow.

That's redundant.

Hatred implies peanut butter. Why else create a substance that drives you crazy if you don't have a glass of milk?

I go in for surgery tomorrow...should be out by wednesday at the latest, but no solid food for four weeks...just adding to the "people not having a merry christmas" motif.

Dude, wow. What's wrong?

I won't ask about the nature of your surgery, but I hope things are well for you and your family.

Skinky, they sound really good.

I'm just finishing up some meat pie & peanut brittle from last night....mmm breakfast of champions ;)

Avie, good luck ,hope to hear from you soon.

We've got a bit of snow down, I guess I'll go clean up the driveway.

Double ear infection and a sinus infection here.

No booze fore teh crimmas: I'll be on antibiotics.

Look at the bright side, though:

THINK OF HOW SKINNY YOU'LL BE AFTER A MONTH OF NO SOLID FOOD!!!

So my folks arrive for the whole graduation hullabaloo, and one of the first things my mother says to me is: I had hoped there'd be snow.

It has snowed (lightly, mind, not much accumulation) each of the three days since she said that -_-'

Jesus, did we all get the memo?

I'm going under the knife for knee surgery in January.

That's just fucking weird.

You're awfully young to get knee surgery-- are you playing some sort of sport?

It's from a few years back. It's just some bone chips from baseball.

Nothing too serious. It's just been a minor pain, and insurance kicks in at the start of the month.

Stop it. I'm getting a boner, and it's not 1985 so I have no idea why it's called a boner. I thought it was supposed to be an erection since they invented viagra, but strangely your 1950's sexuality had managed to stuff my genitalia in a time machine.

And let me tell you, there's NOTHING hotter than having your genitalia stuffed into a machine while you weren't expecting it.

Hey, maybe I'll be joining you guys soon. Early last week I injured both of my knees (one climbing, one playing ping pong) and they're still acting up on me. Hopefully once I'm actually on holidays I'll be able to rest them enough that it'll sort itself out on its own.

Look on the bright side, folks... at least you can all talk.

With this upper respiratory infection I've been dealing with, I can barely speak above a whisper, and it's very raspy at that. Yesterday I was able to cough several times and settle into a normal volume speaking voice that sounded not unlike Ken Kaniff, today not so much.

What really sucks is that at my job, customers are #1 by corporate mandate, followed by working freight at #2 and paperwork #3. So I either have to cough up a lung on the spot in order to clear my throat enough to speak and be heard, or I whisper that I've lost my voice and the customer works with me to get what they need. :-\

I had to make a special trip to the store this evening for Ricola drops, Honey and Lemon, and Aloe Vera Juice. So Hopefully I'll have my voice back by the time I have to go to my grandmother's house for Christmas dinner friday.

Everyone here seems... decrepit.
Surgery, lungs, knees, etc.

I feel I'm going to be jinxed anytime soon because of mentioning this....

Hope everyone will feel better.

Well, I've got good news and bad news for you, fli... the good news is you're getting a disease named after you!

So I go to the doctor, right? And I tell him, my knee hurts when I move it, okay? And he tells me, "Then don't move it! That'll be 500 bucks!"

This is why I'll never be a good mafioso.

Another perfect reason why Canada's health care system is better.
The doctor's here can give you exactly the same advice ...& IT WON"T COST YOU A DIME !

See !
Now, Isn't that better :)

My brother has just arrived home from Korea...I don't need a reason to have a few drinks (as many here know) but now we've got a good one !
Looking forward to having a very merry xmas. or at least after christmas dinner, there will be a party.
