Post Christmas Dissection
Clearing away the Christmas debris, I’m back at my desk for another festive post. Also there will be pictures of turkey preparation in this post, so if you’re bothered by that sort of thing then this may be one to miss. Christmas Day has come and gone, and I’m still getting over the post-dinner coma.…

It’s Christmas Eve for Certain
Another year, another furious week of shopping, cooking, baking, saucing and wrapping. Is this supposed to be relaxing? It has begun… Yes, in the words of the immortal Fozziwig (from the Muppet Christmas Carol fame), it’s Christmas Eve for certain. The food shopping is over and the real preparations have just begun. My enduring memory…

Life on the Shelf
I have been trying to sit down and write about Christmas, but it just isn’t happening. A tiny 4 kg black hole has opened in our lives which absorbs all time, energy, and effort.

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…
