Cheating!

Only a little, perhaps

Lunch today and so dinner tonight as tradition on 24th December, only fish dishes. Lunch was pasta with salmon and then griddled scallops with a simple salad as side.

I am struggling trying to find an appetite today, but I actually think I could eat that. Not the glass of orange juice though

So far today, a piece of toast. We have had a stomach bug lurking for best part of a week, mild symptoms - just nausea and lack of appetite - until today when it finally gathered strength and started getting serious. I came back this morning to find my wife speaking to the great white telephone in the bathroom, which didn't help much with my nausea. She has retired to bed with the terriers leaving me to dress the Christmas tree. She must be feeling ill. I am tentatively sipping a large brandy, on a kill or cure it basis whilst throwing baubles at the tree. We have had to cancel going out for lunch, and at this rate Christmas lunch may have to be re-scheduled. Hey ho!

Actually, the orange juice was rum punch, so perhaps not.

Hope you're feeling much better soon.

We have some guests coming in a bit, so I knocked up some cinnamon swirls.

Beautiful form. I wish I had one with my coffee this morning!

 

[The Late Night Gourmet]

Tater tots with a cube of cheddar in the middle. I season them with basil, smoked paprika, and garlic powder, with a little bit of pepper and salt. Par boil the potatoes first to get a perfect cook, then wrap them up and deep fry them.

I'm preparing cookies, both with olive oil and butter, for the children of villaggio dei bambini (orphans and also childs with problematic families)..
