    No Zep gifts this Christmas, but I did get this really cool print of one of my favorite places in New Orleans, the infamous Carousel Bar.

    Thanks, Debbie! :) 

    My family and I visited the doctor today and things seem to be getting better.

    Sucks to be ill during Christmas, but I am hoping that the New Year will be pleasant and uneventful. 

    Hope you and your family are having a lovely and memorable Christmas! :friends::santa: 

    Thank you, Kiwi!  I remember being very sick at Christmas time one year, and it was the worst!  I bet you will be in good form for the New Year.  Celebrate well, my friend. :toast: 

    Christmas with the family was very nice.  Having all of the family together gets harder as all the kids are grown, so I am very thankful that we were all together this year.   I hope your day was enjoyable as well!

    Major funk right there, Steve! :D 

    I love that you picked a performance from Jazz Fest, and watching them play makes it all the more fun.  I love the dancing mop in the crowd, nice touch!  Me and Missy are getting a dance workout at this party, woohoo! ????

    Incidentally, I would see Robert Plant perform on this very stage at Jazz Fest one year later. He was greeted with the same warm crowd.  But he wasn't quite as funky as Galactic. ;)

    Fashionably late, I am. ;) I bring my little dog, Missy, who has already started with some holiday cheer.  I'll have a French 75.  I hope the party will keep on going through the New Year, we are ready to get our boogie shoes on!  Please pick us out some funky music to dance to, Steve. IMG_5266.JPG

    Merry Christmas, forum friends.  And thank you, Steve, for being a gracious host.

    Indeed Sister. Quality and the time of course it takes. This is the first time in years we have had a Turkey. We always have Christmas dinner together - no one else as we visit relatives on Boxing Day. It is a big bird of course and if not done right BLAND. We have tried alternatives from Lobster to Goose and Capon ( a castrated cock Chicken) Guinea Fowl, all sorts. So this year Turkey

    I will be covering the bird in unsalted Butter and put a Tangerine with herbs ( sage,rosemary, thyme and loads of bay leaves) in the cavity. Stuff the neck end with sausage meat,breadcrumbs, more herbs and sliced peaches for that sweet hit and wrap in tin foil. Cook for a couple of hours on a trivet ( the giblets, onions,celery,carrots and sage leaves) and remove foil and cover the bird with dry cured smoked streaky bacon. Another hour in and it will be done. Wrap again in tin foil and a tea towel and rest for an hour or so. I made the gravy the other day so I will add that to the mashed veg in the trivet add a dollop of Cranberry sauce and it will be ready to dive in.

    DD if you knocked on my door you would be welcomed in with some great food and wines and later we will be welled chilled ;)

    Have a great Christmas and a fantastic new year whatever you get up to !

    Note: North Indian Lamb Curry this evening with Naan Breads and a chicken masala which I froze the other week. Spicy !

    Simply divine!  It would be an honor to dine with you and your bride.  And thank you for the warm wishes.  I do hope that 2017 is very kind to you, too.

    So, while I'll miss the curry tonight, I'm pretty sure I can get on a plane and be there by  breakfast tomorrow! :)

     

    As always, the menu looks stunning.  I hope you and Mrs CP have a most wonderful Christmas!!

    Wait for me, ebk, I'm headed your way to tag along!  CP will be shocked one day when we show up on his doorstep, hehe. 

    Merry Christmas, ebk!

    The wait is nearly over and the Kitchen is on high alert.

    To breeze in for what promises to be a culinary marathon, I am having a dippy egg and soldiers for breakfast

    So what plans do others have for the holiday - food wise?

    Roughly speaking this is what I have planned:

    This evening: Spicy. Not sure what but it will be a curry of some sort

    Christmas Eve dinner: Fish Pie and a green. Rich and warming this ocean delight is a treat at any time of the year. Haddock, both smoked and plain, large king Prawns in a cream and dill sauce topped with mashed potatoes and Parmesan topping. Purple sprouting Broccoli on the side. It is Mrs CP's fav and I have boldly asked her to choose wine to go with it

    The big day: 

    Almost sure but things may change, especially in the pudding dept.

    Breakkie: Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Toast. Not too heavy as the lunch awaits. A brisk walk in the hills to rev up the appetite

    Lunch:

    Prawn cocktail: Lightly pan fried King prawns served in a home made Marie Rose dressing. Light salad leaves

    Turkey: Free range, bronze hen bird. Roast Pots, sprouts. Bread sauce, gravy- which I have already done. Stuffing and various sweet sauces and chutneys. 

    Sweet: Profiteroles and cream or Christmas pudd or trifle or cheesecake.

    A selection of cheeses

    Wines:

    A crisp White Rioja "Hacienda Lopez de Haro" Vintage 2015

    A Reserva red Rioja 2009 "Beronia"

     Orange Muscat dessert wine "Essensia" 2014 from Madera, California

    A White Reserva Port from The Douro in Portugal. "Ramos Pinto Adriano" for the cheese

     

    I thought about cooking but after seeing this, I've decided I'm coming to your house! Wow, that all sounds delicious!  I see that you have figured out that it's all about the food.  And the wine.  Quality, not quantity.  Just perfect.

    Knock knock...is anybody home?

    Merry Christmas to you and Mrs CP!

    On a selfish note, Mrs W met with her doctor today and everything in the biopsy from her latest surgery came back looking good!  She is one strong lady! :yesnod: 

    Nothing selfish about that, Walter.  Congrats to your whole family on Mrs W's fantastic news.  She has a wonderful support system that keeps her lifted, good job!! :)

    Thanks, Debbie! :friends: I took a risk in having such a fixed career goal and I really had to be mentally strong and not let the voices of nay-sayers take over!

    NEVER let the nay-sayers tell you that you can't do it!  That's just plain bullshit!

    I agree with Walter, Kiwi. And you have already learned this for yourself.  Good for you!  

    Remember, follow your heart, trust your gut, use your head.  Nay-sayers don't have a place in the process.
