* Another huge Feast ...

How many huge meals can one consume?!  We seem to be doing pretty well at it.  Actually all of us were absolutely whacked today.  Had to nap, and we are all still tired.  Not like the good old days .. ha ha.

We did, however, manage to consume another huge delicious meal, after which we cleaned up and have now taken to our beds!  I'm not sure what's happening to me, however, I have been thoroughly enjoying cooking.  There has been a long absence of the 'joy of cooking' in my life, so it feels good.

"Big Bird".  A huge gorgeous chicken from the local butcher.

Everything ready to serve.  Chicken with dressing, scallop potatoes, fresh carrots and shelled peas in cream, oh and a marinated cucumber and tomato salad you cannot see.  Yes, we were little pigs.

 I had a good look to see what was wrong with my camera last night.  I knew the flash wasn't working, but didn't know why, so I was not getting enough light.  I had loaned the camera out, and the flash had been turned off, which of course I never do, so I didn't have a clue .... anyway, it's all back to normal now for which I'm very grateful.  I have such fun with that camera I would miss her terribly.

Hope you all had a great day yesterday, and another again today.  Thanks for all your lovely New Year's wishes, and thanks for dropping by today.
