Surprise! We’re back after all. We said we might not get a blog out the rest of the year, but with Al and Kelly here for dinner, and Al snapping pictures like mad, I had to get off my duff and get there quick!
First, the reason for the season:
Warning to Mike McFall: FOOD PICTURES COMING!
Christmas breakfast included our time-honored (since before I was born) tortiere, originally a pork pie, but now made with turkey sausage. Because this was my first time making the pie myself, Suzy insisted on getting pictures. Take a peek at the photo album. We used a wine bottle for a rolling pin, and Suzy did the fancy work on the crust.
For dinner, Al and Kelly of the Bayfield Bunch arrived in mid-afternoon with a delicious salad and dressings as well as a hearty appetite. 
Once again I was the main cook, and we had a big prime rib roast. 
No one went away hungry! Notice Suzy grinning behind her arm sling. The recovery from surgery is slow going, but she’s really doing well!
For dessert, Red Velvet Cake!
What a great time we had with Al …
… and Kelly …
… joining us in … Our Life on Wheels!
Oh, please help us welcome our newest “follower,” our 50th. He calls himself Hugh Handyguy! We’re glad you are all here with us, and we hope you had as nice a Christmas as we did!
And a good time was had by all too:)) And yep, I had my eyes closed on that second shot alright....:((
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great time. Like to meet the Bayfields sometime, have been following his blog. We had a a quiet christmas, first one without our loved ones. We did go to Chinese last nite. It was a pretty day here 72degrees.
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad for Suzys progress.

I would gladly share a bit of turkey for a little of that great looking Prime Rib roast, Jerry - it looked terrific! I'm sure you all had a wonderful afternoon and evening. I'll be looking forward to getting down there and meeting you, Suzy and everyone else. Thanks for the pictures too - Suzy looks terrific, I would never guess she just had surgery a few days ago, even with the sling!
ReplyDeleteWow what a great dinner! looks like you had a great time - this is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe pie looks very interesting, never seen such a pie before, and the red velvet cake looks amazing!
