Christmas the Second
There has been shopping. Baking. DIYing. And the Muppet Christmas Carol. It must be Christmas Eve! Yes, we’ve reaching the big day, and though it won’t be the most momentous occasion this year (I’m looking at you, wedding!) I can’t help but love it. Christmas is my favourite time of year. Friends, family, food, drink.…

Back to the Future…Part III
I’m back! And Christmas is over. So there has never been a better time for a vaguely Christmas-themed special. This time, I’m playing Back to the Future Part III on the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis for the American folks). If I told you the game was great…I’d be lying. It’s not one I would recommend,…

An Alternative Christmas
Christmas has been and gone for another year, but there’s still time for…Christmas? Yes, we had our Christmas dinner on Friday the 22nd of December as I’m visiting Sarah in England from the 23rd to the 26th. I spend the past week working nights, and was struck down with a bad case of the cold…

The nth Day of Christmas
We’ve reached the nth day of Christmas, and the tree is still very much a feature in our living room, alongside the stormtrooper decanter full of questionable whiskey, and the ever growing display of trinkets adorning the top of our bookshelf. We’ve only lived here a year and a half, but the amount of stuff…

Merry (Belated) Christmas, and an even Happier New Year
Christmas has come and gone for another year. Well, technically it concludes with the twelfth day of Christmas on the 5th of January, but for most the excitement is in the preparation and the big day itself. This was no ordinary Christmas for my family, as it was the first in many years without the…

Christmas (2015) Food and Fun, and a Great Shortbread Recipe
Happy New Year! Christmas flew by, and I barely talked about food at all. I’ve been so distracted working on my first gaming video the writing side of things has fallen by the wayside. But fear not! I am back in business. I did a reasonable amount of cooking this year, though the dessert was not…

YouTube Debut with Rambo III
Christmas has come and gone for another year. It always goes by in a flash of food, drink, and family. It’s my favourite time of the year, though not a time without stress. I love all of the preparation in the days leading up to the main event. The menu planning, shopping, sauce production, brine…

Twas the Night before Christmas MMXV
Yes, I can’t believe it’s that time already. This is a brief update before the madness of tomorrow kicks off. Christmas is upon us, and I haven’t been keeping up with blogging. The last few days have been filled with intense cleaning, cooking, and attempting to get rid of old furniture. There has been some…

Christmas Time!
A multi-part post! I started writing this morning but was quickly swept up in the Christmas preparations until dinner was served just after 2 pm. After some intense eating and present opening, we are currently relaxing and watching Monty Python Almost Live. The fire is roaring and we are all in a food-induced comatose, so…

Merry (almost) Christmas!
The big day is almost upon us and I am starting to get excited. Today featured an intense burst of cooking, including cranberry and apple sauces, honey mustard ham, and the charlotte royale! And continuing on from last year’s tradition, I am brining the turkey overnight to add flavour and moisture to the bird. Any…
