Place D'armes, Old Montreal
It is the day before the big day. I am hosting 14 people tomorrow and I am the cook. That means I am going to be busy today. But I will be blogging later this evening and on and off tomorrow.
Update Midnight December25, 2022: The GF laid the law tonight. No blogging this Christmas. Sighhh .... blogging will return Monday.

Enjoy your holidays WNU. Thanks for keeping up this blog!
Hear! Hear!
What’s on the menu? We’re making a 15lbs rib roast and hot buttered rum for drinks.

OMG! 15lbs!!!! I love ribs. But that is for New Years Eve.
To begin .... cheese platter, smoked salmon, a lot of cold cuts, baguettes, crackers, wine, etc.
The meal starts with a shot of vodka (Grey Goose)
followed
Borscht .... Russian-Ukrainian style from scratch.
I am making two Beef Wellingtons, cabbage rolls, smoked Turkey (I started that about an hour ago), potatoes with Bacon (a Russian thing), Kasha (its a Russian thing), Wild rice mixed with mushrooms. A general salad and dill pickles that I grew from my garden and stored.
Desert
French pastries .... a lot of pastries that I just picked up from my favorite pastry chef.
Finished the night with Johnny Walker Blue, some XO Cognac, or Porto. Depending on the mood.
My wines .... 2 Italian Brunellos, 2 French Margaux. and 2 California Opus
I am overdoing it this Christmas. But this is to make up for the pandemic. This is also probably my mother's last or second to last Christmas. And the GF wants to spoil everyone. I also fear that if thing get out of control in the Ukraine war, this may be the last time that we all can sit down and enjoy a great evening for a long time. This is one of those moments where it is best to live now, and not for the future.

A-hole has been out of college 8 years. Presumably he graduated with a bachelors degree.

I guess being an a-hole and graduating with a bachelors degree gives you the right to cause people to lose their retirement savings. Democrat party Beast needs to be fed.
Merry Christmas everyone. May the Lord Tunderin Jesus bless us with an abundance of war that will need to be reported on. Personally, I don’t think we’ll need to do much praying for that in 2023. God Bless

Merry Christmas and Better Be A Happy New Year 2023
Oh shit. It's the 26th, 9:00 a.m. EST, and I am realizing that we may be dealing with an Orthodox Christmas situation here, where the 26th is merely the 2nd day of Christmas.
Stuff down some latkas and throw us some links, kind Friend!
