A couple of weeks ago C ordered what has become this families xmas dinner, which is eaten usually around 2 in the afternoon. They do not bother with a fancy bfast which is what we did, as we did not eat until 6 so bfast had to tide you over until then.
But today she came home with the goodies.. A Pintade ( guinea hen) boned and stuffed with A boned Canard ( duck ) then stuffed with two boned pigeons. The bones are now in the oven roasting so that they can be boiled for a good soup stock.
There is an awful lot of food here and I am glad that Sarah is coming as James has bought masses of caviar and blini for delicious nibbles, quails eggs and of course masses of smoked salmon. it is going to be a feast for a long time.
The weather this morning is plus 12, so sunny and warm, I had to throw off my heavy duvet last night and open a window and change my nighty and even then was too hot.. a pleasant change.
I have not climbed on a scale for a few days but I notice that my rings are slipping around on my fingers so altho I am back to eating more, I still have not put back on a lot of kilos.
