Now tonight's party; Lots to eat and drink, incl (from memory) Haddock wrapped in Spinach with a cheese sauce, Turkey Tetrazzini, Shepherds' Pie, etc etc.

And more puds than you could shake a stick at......just my luck that it won't run-out till Christmas Eve.

Bill, I know many might find the electric sharpener to be sac religious

I used to. Then I bought the Chef's choice EdgeSelect 120 and wondered why it took so long for me to smarten up.

Plus I like the old skool pleasure of a whetstone.

I thought I did too. Not anymore.

Birthday boys, stop #1.

#3. After that we needed food and the camera was put away. Good thing. I don't think I was pretty to watch.

For he's a jolly good fellow, and so say all of us.

Have a great year Cal and the memory will last.


3rd pic. I used to have one of those under the bed - but SWMBO made me move it into a corner as it made the bed springs rust.

I see a theme... burp

OMG the gout is chasing me around the room. I have gone for three dog walks already and am about to take another just to keep it at bay. We sampled 22 beers yesterday and by golly, everyone was good...

...as best I can remember. I had fun driving too. The new auto-pilot in the car made it a whole lot easier.

That's it, no more clams for you, only yogur.

Tough medicine but a cup of cider vinegar half and half with water does the trick, folk medicine that works.

Don't remind me a weekend of pork, lobster, and schnapps with my German friends and I couldn't walk on Monday. The cider vinegar does work.

Add a spoon of ground turmeric (not just folk music, reduces the inflammation)

Can't hurt, but that is also Ayurvedic folk medicine. I admit I don't indulge in gouty behavior anymore, but twice it worked in less than an hour (I admit my bitter constitution got a full cup down at once). BTW the turmeric needs a little piperine or much of it is not assimilated take some every day.

also Ayurvedic

Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of curcumin. - PubMed - NCBI

(there was an article of a recent study on it in one of the g/f's 'most popular' medicine mags)

 

[jacco vermeulen]

Right

2 fluid ounces ? You have to do a lot better than that.
10 fl oz of the Bilimbi stuff lasts me two days, it's a bit like strawberry jam.

(I'm so hot inside and out, I'll even fry the old geezer down below, any time)

I find the biggest advantage of Ayurvedic medicine is it stops the inlaws moaning at me. Father in law is FRCS, mother in law believes with a passion in Ayurvedic medicine. Go figure.
