Re: Merry Christmas Everyone.
When my old cooker died, I kept the grill-pan and rungs from the oven to use for a cook-out.
In the photo I am cooking the gammon steaks in the grill-pan in a chestnut and red wine sauce.
The fish-kettle cost me £5 in a charity shop, and the round pot (I remember our school custard was served in something similar) was also a bargain.
We nearly lost the sausages, when an excited dog bounded through our camp!

Re: Merry Christmas Everyone.
Sounds like you had a fantastic time, Viv! Well done with all the cooking!
Sorry I haven't been here much for a while — I've been busy with lots of things (including Christmas preparations — I had two major cross stitch pieces to finish in time to give as presents!!), but everything's going well for me here and also for my family back in Australia, I'm glad to say.
Hope everyone in the EBS community is also well and that you and your families all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

Re: Merry Christmas Everyone.
I was beginning to become concerned with your absence, Courtenay. Glad to know you are OK.
Hope you enjoy your first Christmas in the 'Frozen North'
Freddie & Suki send a Christmas 'Purrrr'.
Take Care.

Merry Christmas everyone, have a safe and blessed holiday time.

Re: Merry Christmas Everyone.
Seasons greetings Lenoir & FiveFanDownunder!
I've been trying to buy ginger ale to add to my whisky for over a week with no success.
I'm going to the co op now for one last try!!!
Best wishes to you both

Re: Merry Christmas Everyone.
Merry Christmas one and all and a Happy New Year. I'll pass on the ginger beer, there's a nice sauvignon blanc lined up for the turkey tomorrow, port with the cheese and a Baileys with the coffee. Happy days!
God bless us, everyone.

Re: Merry Christmas Everyone.
I hope you're not planning on ruining your 12-year-old single malts with ginger ale. That would be sacrilege!
Merry Christmas, Everyone!

I don’t like beer very much. I’m always glad when I’ve had enough.
