Oh dear. I am obviously not a real woman. Although I am just about to go shopping - mostly for food. Need to make enormous list.

rubbish, we just have different ''jobs''. you are a teacher and a mother, I'm ''just'' a wife, so cook in the kitchen is part of my job description.

Thank you. But you are not "just" a wife. You are a wife and a smallholder.

Anyone who has been amused/ irritated by the pedantic ness (is that a word?) of the laws regarding Jewish rituals will be amused by this:

What Xmas would be like if it were a Jewish holiday.

I love how guys are setting puzzles a tthe same time as I'm trying to work out timings for staged precooking, daily cooking, defrosting etc.

Right now I have supper for the 27th in the oven, and tonights winter soltice meal to go in the oven. Boxing days supper (we're not having turkey this year, but roast beef, so pickings and left ovewrs will be less fun and a bit simpler and need warm augmentation) is done and frozen. I have marked my calandar with what to defrost when and what gets cooked fresh and when...so instead of drinks with x and y on the calander thats been done by asterisk while the box is filled with ''get beef out of freezer''...

Gosh, you make it sound hard. In our house it's always gone like this:

Pre-Xmas: Nothing
Xmas Breakfast: Nothing
Xmas Dinner: Big turkey dinner with all the stuff we like, just main course, no starter, no afters.
Xmas Tea: You're joking, nobody can move
Boxing Day Lunch: Leftover turkey and chips

That's Xmas over then.

No point being MSE over silly/insignificant things.

Oh well, that is the shortest day over with... from here on in, every day is slightly longer. Theoretically speaking, that is.
