Well, it’s Christmas morning…
…and we’ll be going for the church service later and after that, we’ll have to drop by my parents’ house for a while to wish them a Happy Christmas and then, I guess we’ll have to rush home to get ready for tonight.
My missus has called her family over for dinner – my outlaws…oops. I mean, my in-laws, and my sister will join us as well as a few of my friends. Actually, I’ve done my bit already. I’ve baked my Christmas chicken pie…
…which, unfortunately, got a bit burnt at the edges because my missus was using the oven to heat up something earlier and it was a bit too hot when I put the pie in. Then, I made these mini-pies for my mother…
She’s bed-ridden and will not be able to join us, so I decided to make a few small ones for her…
I also made a shepherd pie…
…and when the time comes, I will just heat them up and serve. I had to get my things ready beforehand…so that I’ll be out of the kitchen once my missus starts to prepare her dishes. You can bet that the place will look like it had survived the two world wars and a third one thrown in for good measure! She’s the type who will mess up the whole place and clean up when she’s done – not like me. I will clean up every step of the way so that when I’ve finished, I will not need to go through the chore of cleaning, wiping, drying and putting everything away.
Well, since I have contributed my bit, all that I have to do for the time being is to sit back and relax…and wait for tonight! Yum! Yum!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
