Hobbly Weekend Recap
Hello Monday. The start of a new week is upon us. source The Mr's back was not happy and getting worse Friday so he had to break down and go to the chiropractor. He said it's the ligament that runs over his SI joint and it's inflamed. He told him to use ice over heat, cold lasered him and yanked his bum leg. He's been using the shoulder migraine ice pack I got him for Christmas on his lower back held in place by the back brace belt from the last SI joint flare up. He couldn't really do a whole lot so we shared a blood supply with the couch most of the day Saturday. We finally decided to go poke around the garden center just to get out of the house and get some movement. OMG, the prices!!! Flats are 12 plants less than they used to be for $3 more or $6 more if you want the old amount. Plants are $5 a pop for a tomato or basil plant. I'm REALLY hoping I properly harden off my seedlings because I can't af...
Prime rib and shrimp on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day we have a traditional Norwegian meal with homemade meatballs and gravy over homemade mashed potatoes
ReplyDeleteWe always do a ham and sides - basically Thanksgiving but with a ham instead of a turkey. I'd love to get away from that, but my kiddo and my folks seem to really want that meal. Lasagna for Christmas Eve and then ham and all for Christmas Day. We do a sweet roll thing for Christmas morning that is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to find a lemon cookie recipe right now. I made these amazing cookies last year, used a lemon cake mix, and apparently didn't print the recipe. Ugh. Hate when I do that.
Have an amazing Christmas you two!
For years it would be a beef roast of some sort, either a standard roast or a crown roast with the little shoes. LOL And all the usual sides. One of my favorite appetizers would be the bruschetta that I still make to this day numerous times a year. We used to have breakfast on Christmas Eve but got away from that because of our work schedules. The past couple of years it's been lasagna for Christmas instead just to make things simpler and there have been no complaints. It's the one dish my hubs will eat as leftovers for a few days. lol
ReplyDeleteI think this is only my second post here, the first one being about the gentleman at the graveyard who you helped out.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to wish you and the Mr. a Merry Christmas and a happy new year and to thank you for your daily posts. I enjoy reading them very much.
To answer you question, I will be defrosting the other half on the turkey I cooked for my husband for Thanksgiving (I'm a veggie). I will do your mashed potatoes (had to look it up on Youtube as I mislaid my written copy) roast potatoes, stuffing, broccoli, Yorkshire puddings, gravy, rolls and butter and sticky toffee pudding and custard. (Can you tell I'm English :) ). I was going to make mince pies but I've gained the Covid 20 so I thought I should give them a pass this year.
Happy Love Anniversary. Jo.
I'm sorry, I think I should have said cemetery not graveyard.
