Mmmmm

Well a Happy new Year to all - and may 2007 exceed all your expectations for being truly fantabulous. I welcomed in the New Year with Hubby and another couple who live out at Tarland - it was a quiet affair, but suited me down to the ground - I must say I'm not much interested in drinking too much to stand, followed by ill-considered gyrating. However, if that's your bag baby please continue - tho preferrably not in my line of sight. Also if you require an ambulance trip, hospitalisation or Police intervention of any kind - you really should pay for wasting their time - and feel much shame.
I digress. The celebratory meal for John and the Parents went very well. A good time was had by all and everyone seemed to enjoy the food; inspite of the rather sinister blue gravy. Now I can cook and cannot think of a good reason why my gravy was blue - there was definately no blue string ala Bridget involved! It tasted ok anyway and that's the main thing. Once transferred to the gravy boat it was a more sage green than blue - and for some reason eating something green was less disturbing than eating something blue. The Goose tasted very nice and Delia and I managed to put our previous differences aside to produce the desired Prune and apple sauce for on the side. Infact the sauce was very good cold with the left over Goose the next day. There is something truly wonderful about leftovers and re-heats, especially with gravy - doesn't need to be blue.
