Christmas and Birthday Roundup

Me, I am not ambidextrous. I never realized how dependent I am regarding my right arm. May as well have a flipper on the left side for all the good it does with detail work such as stirring sauce through hot pasta. Or pouring a cup of coffee from a full pot. A hot, steaming pot – just begging to give me third degree burns.


So, that being said…I can share a roundup of Christmas and birthday photos…not a lot, but I am incapable of typing too much so…

Birthday first
Tristan started with a mug of beer and dozen raw oysters......


The oysters were great - fat, juicy and salty



Fried catfish sandwich...and beer


A skillet - wow, they pack these things with shrimp, oysters, sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, onions and served over buttery yellow rice. We brought some home.



Christmas we splurge for our annual prime rib purchase.........



Yorkshire Pudding which is amazing......


Roasted root vegetables.......



The tree is decorated with goat ornaments (of course) and the shibas managed to get two new toys. One was immediately gutted of fiber fill...looks like a snow scene in one room with that stuff scattered about.........



Anyway.....I hope to post about good things for 2011. Hope to be more physically and finacially fit for the upcoming year.

I wish you all good health!

  4. Tina- Sorry to hear that you don't have the use of both arms right now. It certainly makes things tough.
    Looks like you've been eating some wonderful food though. From the oysters to the prime rib - yum!

    I hope the new year brings you good health and all the best!

  5. Both your arms will be full force soon. Just keep raising the wine glass, kick back and relax.

    Cheers.

    I've had a day of snails followed by roast duck with foie gras gravy and LOTS of cheese - I'm bound to start suffering soon ;o)

Welcome and thank you so much for visiting. If I don't answer you here I will get back to you on your blog. Also have had to switch to approving comments due to some SPAM lately. Alas...

It's been a good run...........
