Our Holiday dinner is a collaborative event, celebrated at the home of the other grandmorther and grandfater of my granddaughters, about 200 yards down the road. With both sides of the family there it will be a gret family feast.

Death is the proof that living is worthwhile. It is often a great loss, but it is part of life. Celebrate the rebirths that are important to you and remember the good things. This year there is only 1 greatgrandparent left for our grandchildren ...

Happy Holidays to all

To you, too!

Sounds like the food prep is a major part of your holiday celebratioin.

To you and yours, the BEST.

You hadda go and do that didn't you Larry? You do realize that nothing we have today will be quite satisfying now, don't you?

I'd rather have 'fast food' with roughed grouse being my preference.... ;~)

Back at ya, Robert.. Hope you survive all that good food and can still fit in the shop door!

Feliz Navidad

Sorry 'bout that :-).

But to add a little levity to your Xmas, here's the story of my Xmas dinner.

About 11 years ago I had a heart attack (OK Doc, a myocardial infarction). It was a mild one, but it made me give up ciggarettes and start eating rabbit food. After a few years of this, I was getting pretty tired of my healthy diet

My lovely Linda pointed out that it would be OK to splurge for Xmas, and asked me what I really, really wanted. My brain went into overload as I scanned the memory banks. I wanted grease! Lovely grease! So naturally I came up with Spam and fried potatoes (fried in the Spam grease) :-).

It has become a tradition. So while you're sitting down to a scrumptious ham or turkey dinner with all the trimmings, I'll be enjoying my Spam and fried potatoes. And I'll be just as happily stuffed as you :-).

Have a merry Xmas, happy Hanukkah, splendiferous Saturnalia, and/or snowy solstice!

Damnit, you left out one point.......your address!!!!!

If you want the best of both worlds (Spam and rabbit food together), go to the Spam web site and download the primavera recipe.

I sub smoked sausage for Spam.

Frozen veggies, pasta, smoked sausage and Parmesan.

Works for me.

Lew

Romano! Parmesan is for sissies.

Wrap the Spam in bacon, extra grease can only help. ;-) Then do the Spam and bacon with Cheeze Whiz, in bread, and grill it with extra butter, in the remaining Spam and bacon grease.

I'll see you in the next life.
