TGIF THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!
AT THIS POINT I REALLY DON'T CARE IF IT'S FRIDAY, OR MONDAY, I AM STILL UNDER THE WEATHER BUT UNFORTUNATELY LIFE GOES ON.
I AM SUFFERING FROM DAMN CHRONIC PAIN, ALONG WITH A COLD, WHICH DRIVES ME NUTS, SINCE I HAVE SOO MUCH TO DO IN PREPARATION FOR XMAS.
LAST NIGHT RICHARD, OUR DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND WENT SNOWMOBILING FOR MOST OF THE EVENING, WHICH WAS GREAT, CAUSE WHEN I DECORATE MY XMAS TREE, NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO HELP, I LOVE DOING IT BY MYSELF, AND MY TASTE. AS USUAL IT'S BEAUTIFUL, IF I CAN SAY SO MYSELF.
SATURDAY I AIM TO START COOKING THE RAGOUT DE BOULETTE WHICH IS A LONG PROCESS, I COOK A PORK ROAST, A BEEF ROAST, PIGS FEET, AND ROLL UP APPROXIMATELY 100 MEAT BALLS, ALL COOKED IN DIFFERENT POTS, THEN TAKE ONLY THE BEST OF THE MEAT, NO FAT OR BONES, THEN PUT IT ALL IN A BIG ROTISERY AND ADD THE SPECIAL GRAVY, AND VOILA!!!
THE TURKEY I WILL PUT ON ONLY IN THE VERY EARLY HOURS OF THE XMAS MORNING.
NOW DAVE I WILL MAKE THAT COOKIE RECEPY, NOT THE ONE YOU SENT US, BUT THE ONE FROM THE SITE YOUR WIFE SUGGESTED. I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW GOOD THEY ARE AND IF THEY ARE WORTH 250.00$ A PIECE, LOL.
I AM LEAVING SHORTLY BUT WILL RETURN AND TRY TO CATCH UP FROM BEING MIA THIS WEEK.
HOPE ALL IS WELL AT DAILY STRENGHT.
BY THE WAY, I LOVE WHAT DOUG DID RE: XMAS ORNAMENTS WITH HUGS, RIGHT ON.
LATER.......
MCK
ONE DAY AT THE TIME

I hear you about the pain my dear friend. I\'m laying down wuth the heating pad as we speak~thank goodness for my laptop!
That meat recipe sounds very unique and interesting...I\'ve never heard of it but bet it\'s good!
Take good care;

I am sorry you are in pain my friend, isn\'t there something you can take for it and can\'t you cut corners this year to make it easier on yourself? I wish you would consider it.
I ended up doing our tree last night for the first time in years, my son and wife usually did it but with the sleet and snow last Sunday he never came over to do it with my wife. And yes it looks a lot better when you do it yourself. Sorry to hear your under the weather but boy are you a cooking crazy woman. Send me some of those cookies, opps never mind I already gained five lbs from steeling the ones my wife made. If I do not catch up with you before christmas have a wonderful christmas this year. Best to you and your family, Dave
yum that sounds reallyyyy good, I want some. I pray you are feeling better soonnnnn and yes that laptop comes in handy when you dont feel like getting out of the bed, I had to do that many times while I was on tx. I\'m sure that cold weather doesnt help matters either. Stay warm and toasty. Many blessings coming your way
Yeah, don\'t overdo yourself Mck! Your Christmas menu sounds pretty good, except for the Pigs Feet, lol!
Sounds interesting. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Year. I hope you have a blessed time with your family over this holiday season. =)
Dont work to hard sister!!! You dont want to have a bad set back...I love everything about you...Pam
Bijou, I know whst you mean re: pig\'s feet, see what I do is cook everything in separate pots, and then unbone everything, then put all the different lean meat together, along with approximately 100 small meatballs, in a tasty ragout gravy. The best!
Thanks to all...
