As I'm in Australia Christmas Day is in full swing. Up at 6:00 and lunch for 13 will be at our place today by the beach. The forecast is 32C which should please most. I have a 4kg fish and roast potates and pumpkin to cook and that combined with what others bring should make for a pretty good feed. Yes we do live in a lucky country, if only others could enjoy the same.
Please enjoy your Christmas.

Lucky you, our weekend was drowned in the rain. Saw a nice documentary about Australia by Simon Reeves some time ago, must say it's an impressive country ! 
|
|
|
|
|
And please enjoy yours!
The menu is sorted:
Prawn cocktails, with homemade bread.
Sous Vide turkey, with roast, Hasselback, and Dauphinoise potatoes; chestnut stuffing; roast sprouts with bacon and chestnuts; cauliflower and roasted onion purees; pigs in blankets.
Christmas pudding with cream.
Home made chocolates to follow ...
And the spreadsheet is up and running for when I need to do what...

Forecast here is about 24C
Happy holidays all.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Merry Christmas from 9800 ft up in the Colorado Rockies where it's 10 degrees with fresh snow like it should be. But I could do a beach today. That sounds nice

A 3,5 kg goose and 15 big rabbit legs for yesterday. Finished with sharing Goldwasser with friends.

...because we get an endless array of "Top 10" lists for everything we don't care about.

Based on what you started, I'll only approve of Top 10 lists that go from 0 to 9.
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, but they have to run from 9 to 0: otherwise you get the "best" one first and there is no suspense.

Sorry, your list of things you hate is too short.
Please add 9 more.

This post will definitely make the list!

If it were binary, it would be 2, and there are no "Top 2" lists that I know of.
