Fire Away

 Our Christmas Eve 



Firing up the wood oven for tomorrow's meats


Boiling the goats feet and tripe for Christmas morning soup
Not for me I might add.



Keeping warm and baking a spinach pie
Or burning the darn thing. That fire is hot



I hope this one doesn't get burnt . K has prepared his favourite pitta made with slices of a very spicy meat called pastourma

    Oh no, tripe for breakfast? My father loved the stuff but it's not for me :))
    Wishing you all a happy and safe Christmas Day. Cheers Linda, Mxx

    I think I'd pass on the goats feet and tripe, thanks all the same.
    We are having smoked salmon and scrambled eggs for breakfast.
    Darn. Forgot to buy the OJ for the bucks fizz!!

      Poached salmon and eggs are my sort of breakfast! Just plain fizz I'm sure goes down equally well

      I hate the smell of it. Thank goodness he's cooking outside. Hope the cats don't get it though. Health is what we want. If you ain't got that you don't have anything

    We all love the look of that fireplace you are cooking the spanakopita in. The soup doesn't appeal but then what would the Greeks make of, say, mutton birds? (Or breakfasting on leftover curry....) Have a really great Christmas- you have been prepzring long enough and super well for it. Xxx Mr T and F

      I am so envious of everyone else's food. Thank goodness I cook chicken, stuffing, sprouts and Yorkshire puds for the other half of the family. (the half kiwi side who I've brought up with other tastes)
