We had a wonderful Christmas, we spent Christmas Eve at home with no fanfare, usually our older son arrives and a load of friends, kids and dogs, this year it was just the 3 of us. I have to admit I miss all the activity but it was still lots of fun and great gifts and good food!!!
On Christmas Day we were invited to my cousin John and Kim's for dinner. They have their family over so it was very nice to include us. They prepared a fabulous pork loin, mashed potatoes, green beans and a great cherry jello salad, very festive. Kim made homemade rolls that melted in your mouth. The crowning glory was the Yuletide Log. We had a wonderful time seeing everyone and meeting new folks, a very enjoyable afternoon.Now to get back to Stabbin Rags, had a few days off so really need to get back to work. Enough of this fooling around cooking, reading and lounging. Oh I did get a new book for Christmas, it's called Skinny Bitch, and what a book. It's a no frills book on you are what you eat. It covers the whole farming, food industry and what we have done and not done to make it a huge mess. Basically eat only organic fruits and veggies, get rid of all dairy and meat, chicken and fish, eat more beans and nuts too!!! Not sure I can go the whole way I do like my steak etc. but after reading on how these animals are slaughtered it gives one pause!!!! Not to mention what they feed them and the drugs and hormones. It's a rather interesting read if you have never thought about all the government involvement and beef and pork producers it's very scarey!! So I'll make a ham today!!!!
