The heating at mine got sorted today. First thing I learnt this morning was that some arseholes broke into the skatepark and stole some things we had in the office yesterday though.
No wonder I hate Christmas so much, it keeps on getting worse every year.

Oh well.

January. Soon.

SOON.

I’m clear but still achy and tired from it

They’re great I hope they fit :laughing:

I buy my normal size but they are a roomy fit…which I like!

I should be ok, the only thing I worry about is the back of the heel.

If sprouts were actually good, why wouldn’t people eat them at other times?

They’re so grim.

Could say the same for pigs in blanket, turkey etc etc

Sprouts are great especially when cooked with other bits like bacon

As a regular roast? Only if you’re one of those channel 5 families with 20 kids and/or are related to Bernard Matthews.

Yeah no not as a regular toast but they’re fucking massive.

Turkey is pretty good though. Hate the ‘Turkey is dry and shit’ stance.

It’s like hating McDonalds because you could go to Five Guys.

Turkey’s only dry and shit if you do it wrong. Butter, herbs, time and effort make turkey as good as any other white meat. Except pork because crackling is boss.

Hope you all had the best possible festive period. My grandad who’s been in palliative care for the last six weeks managed to get out of the home to have dinner at my mum’s and by all accounts was on excellent form, and the lad I posted about in the Not Stoked thread has been diagnosed with a cancer that’s really treatable and got out of hospital Christmas afternoon so had a normal-ish Boxing Day with his family. I drank 3 bottles of red wine Christmas Day and went for a walk with my in-laws and the dog on the beach yesterday morning. The relief of getting over a 72hr working week that finished Christmas Eve and those two bits of good news was the best gift I could’ve gotten. Been an absolutely shite month by all accounts and I know it’s trite but I can’t fucking wait to see the back of 2023 and have a bit of a reset next year.

Air fryer delivered perfection

I fuck with sprouts big time. Possibly my favourite brassica. They are particularly good with chestnuts.

I just looked it up. They pan-roast them with onion, red pepper, ginger and garlic.

We had great sprouts. GF is vegan so we had fake bacon, which is only good for this, any other time and it’s the most wrong, pointless food ever.
Sprouts, f bacon, garlic pepper, Salt and Honey/agave/maple depending on persuasion.
