The Shed 24

I wasn't asking for a kiss but I will accept it on bended-knee with protest. (Whoot whoooooot!) The mistletoe is the quiet place. Customs, superstitions, creepy old guys standing underneath, that kind of thing. Just my little joke.

"Whoot whoooooot!!!"

(Merry Christmas!)

Merry Christmas to all.

Put some prawns on the barbie ...



Take a swim in the ocean



Then have a feed



Be inclusive



Have a merry Christmas

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas
and a bright and beautiful New Year!
With Love, _Lorri

And a very Merry Christmas to everyone !

( Even those that lurk beneath mistletoe ... is that in the cameltoe family ?)

Merry Christmas

From my upside down to yours...

Good evening one and all, critters, wee folk and large folk alike.
I am sitting here reminiscing of times past. Memories of loved ones shared laughter and tears and tales.
I can see their faces, hear their voices feel the touch of a loving hand a kind word.
It is a sweet sadness a gentle ache, joyfull actually to have loved and be loved in return.
I cherish these relics even though they make me cry.
So many of you are part of that, have shared many a Christmas, ups and downs. Twenty-two Sheds. Me thinks.
This is a favorite of mine, they are so innocent.

Oh and not to forget this little guy who is absolutely unforgiveing if one forgets their rice porridge and cookies on Christmas eve. They would create all sorts of mischief through out the year.


Merry Christmas Shedlands

Is there a lonely dram left some where and some one to share it with?

Wow, since I started writing this it poured in with people. Hearts do come home for Christmas.

You naughty boy. Merry Christmas and a toast to you.

It's almost time.

"Rise up, up! You've seen that bauble dangling provocatively, that LED flashing suggestively. Of course you have, you're not blind. Not like these animals that fill the food bowls. Stalk the bauble, play the bauble, ignore the bauble.

Dead baubles!"

I am cooking tomorrow, and we'll be having a traditional Caymanian Christmas Beef. I trimmed the gristle off, but kept the side of fat for "larding". I've been marinating the beef chunks in a blend of scotch bonnets, scallions, fresh thyme, garlic, salt, fresh basil, pepper, Pickapepper Sauce and Pimento Seed. Tomorrow will brown in a very hot cast iron pan, and stew with bright seasonings and beef stock.

Will serve with rice N' peas, cole slaw, sweet potato, and callaloo with bacon and shallots.

I was just -- unexpectedly -- given beef day before yesterday. Christmas Beef is a "thing" here, dating back to a time where beef and pork were seasonal meats. Local Sweet Potato is white, and like a slightly sweet Russet Potato.

I made homemade egg nog, and I have to say, I've never been a fan of egg nog; texture is too thick for me, even liberally thinned down with rum. Homemade (cooked kind) is wonderful....... not too thick, and I find that a good amount of fresh ginger in it really improves the nutmeg flavour.

I will be cooking all day and binge-watching Travellers on Netflix in between bouts of boisterously loud System of a Down cuts (because, well, a cook sometimes has to ROCK).

It will be a good day for everyone except the cats, who will be unappreciative of the brief changes. They will be glad they stuck around when the bacon comes out. ;o)

Oh Chirp, You've brought such joy by coming home for Christmas! You are never forgotten dear friend!
Love and hugs!
