Nice Christmas song contribution, Destri

Btw, I think you´ll get a lot more done in the kitchen if you don´t run around in circles...

Ah finally! The secret revealed!!

Oh no, hand in cast? I'm so sorry to hear that! But you cooking a whole Xmas dinner? Hope you can cook good then!

Good luck, Destri! I imagine there will indeed be a lot of

, but it will look like

to everyone else!

I'm no chef (wasn't TK one? Where is he when I need him? ), but I do know my way around a kitchen. TLMM[™] is something like 1/4 Italian, so that trumps every other ethnicity she has going on at X-Mas time. She likes to do the feast of the seven fishes on the 24th and it has quickly become something the whole family looks forward to. This years version starts with a clam chowder. We are then planning a crab salad for the second course. Lobster, shrimp, calamari & scallops all go into the pan for a bake… and are accompanied by salmon with vegetables on the grill. Shouldn't be too hard (famous last words

).
We spent all day yesterday hunting for the perfect tree before settling on the first one we liked at the first lot we visited

. Should have gone with ghastley's idea! I'd love 5-6 coquitos right about now, Jacki (not sure what to make of the nacatamals tbh)!! Good luck with the tree decorating, Gritsy... and congrats on the tree separating, 'rocu!!
