🎄 New Year

It’s gone about a mile over my head. Is it a reference to a film or something?

It is best accompanied by Oh no, not again.

Nope. Still overhead, way up in the sky.

Seriously, have you never watched Die Hard?

Sadly, I once did.

I salute your stomach, I bet you were sicker from the Baileys than from the alcohol!!

Are you two talking about the same thing? :face_with_monocle:

I re-watched Die Hard 2, also a Christmas movie.

Some very unlikely things happen in that movie, perhaps the unlikeliest being the destruction of the Windsor airliner.

The only reason they’re coming into land is because they have no fuel. When they land the plane goes up in a fucking fireball.

Obviously not, I thought @Intiniki was talking about getting drunk on Baileys.

No shame in admiting to watching THE Christmas movie


No, but do I get a bonus point for knowing that it stars Bruce Willis? :thinking:

I need Alcohol.

Ok astonishingly all going to plan/timetable so far. Think the Women have enough 12 dishes food for Nanston let alone just 3 of us.

Calculations done, I have an 05:30 alarm call to get final work done on the Turkey some bucks fizz/or bloody Mary & back to bed

Time to binge Die Hard in Polish.
Again.

Well the stock was done yesterday and overnight
 some chicken carcasses I had in freezer, plus two defleshed turkey thighs
 roasted first. Carrots onions and celery, drop of white wine, water and simmered for 8 hours

This morning after filtering have been left With around a litre of dark rich stock
 will be reduced further when deglazing the pan of cooking giblets tomorrow with a drop of port and butter to rich shiny sauce yum yum

Also done the spiced red cabbage, the parsnip purĂ©e and the the stuffing
 this is a herbie mix of pork mince, brown turkey meat, breadcrumbs, sage, thyme and parsley, onions and gently fried in small round ‘balls’
 (great with mustard and a cold beer as well)

Still got to prep veg so I can focus on the bird tomorrow


Got to wrap some presents now and drink a glass of fine vintage port

I’m a Mr Sheen man myself. Pledge, if it’s not available.

I’ll tell you one thing. These so-called “polish” shops are mislabelled. It’s all foreign food with names I don’t understand.

Not a Mr Sheen to be found!

If you think that’s confusing, imagine how I felt when I bought a bottle of French Polish. :rage::rage:
