So after our afternoon of sledding, we had to get back to the Cottage in Winster to prepare for the on going Gorge that would be Christmas. Shanny had a variety of gourmet meals cooking or prepariating (a new word)at any one time. She was cooking and stripping a goose, mixing stuffing, boiling leaks, and on and on. Shanny loves cooking and was in her element. The rest of the girls flitted about the kitchen like clucking chickens whilst shanny controlled them from the position of Rooster.
Don, Myles and I stood or sat back and admired the women’s skills and recited prose, sang and consumed beverages.
We dined that night on a slow cooked lamb shoulder Casulet with Gluten free sausages. The meal was of course a delight and left us all in the mood for some good drink and dance.
We did not have too big a night as the next day was going to be a far larger feast of every proportion and dimension.
Chickens, scratching about in the litter, Shanny on the right, coordinating the scratching. Though this comment may sound derogatory, the women did a magnificent job and produced huge amounts of tasty food and drink.
Dan and Em, staring at Sophie.
Myles, always in the spotlight, smelling his wine, full of blueberries, tannins, lavender and probably plums too.
Shanny, with another bottle of Champagne, ready to be bolted down by the Women, especially Elaine and Mary.
Elaine in the foreground, probably stealing more champagne, but then i think she bought it so i suppose that’s not stealing.
Corinne, nothing makes her happier than a clean glass.
Shanny and Corinne, what a good looking pair of Sheilas.
Myles and Corinne, cutting up the dance floor, probably to Dirty Bit (BEP’s). Note Myles’ eyewear.
What can I say except, "Yum!" All looks delicious and great fun.
