What are You Doing Eating and Drinking This Christmas

[Willard]

That pork looks fantastic! Actually the lamb does too! What's planned for this year?

[Dragzworthy]

is always at the in laws and I’m the one that usually looks after meat.
This year we are having a whole lamb and pork belly on a spit.

I have a 2002 Andersons Sparkling Shiraz (I’ve had one of these the last 4 years) and a NV St Hallett The Black Sparkling Shiraz lined up.

Cheers Con.

Finally worked out how to post a photo from the other thread.

That lamb looks amazing! Here in Singapore it's hard to find anything like this, I do miss it

[Mahmoud Ali]

My goodness, it is a bit early to be thinking of Christmas. In Canada we still have Thanksgiving and Rememberance Day coming. Actually, if all goes to plan, I might well be in Sydney for Christmas.

We are heading to your house...

Thanks All.

I’ve been doing this every Christmas and Easter for nearly 25 years now using the same set up.
Don’t do a whole lamb every time, maybe once every 2 years, It’s lamb and chicken gyro usually and have been doing the pork belly for only a couple years now.

If you remember Christmas day was close to 40 degrees in Melbourne so I needed a lot of refreshments, that’s why I was asleep by about 6pm.

Cheers Con.

Now that I might be in Sydney this Christmas, I'm reminded that I have a couple of 2002 Seppelt's Original Sparkling Shiraz at the inlaws' place. There, as of now, I have thought of what to open this coming Christmas.

Cheers ................. Mahmoud.

Mahmoud you should try to get an offline going if you're going to be in Sydney then....

[phillisc]

Just hope to be alive at Christmas...

No only joking, but its been an interesting year; cancer, too much work, poor life balance...anyway taking a couple of days shortly to sort out the cellar, nearly broke my ankle last week falling off a ladder, after leaning out too far, with the other foot on a stack of boxes which promptly collapsed and hit the deck from five feet up!!
No broken bottles though...or bones
Might fish out a few of those 97s Jamie and an 86 and 90 Ovens Valley for you Mahmoud and Mr Hawk!!

Just a mere 80 days!!!

Cheers Craig

I am with you
I take one day at a time
and I assure I dont work hard enough
I cook and garden and work 3/4 time
and if I really want to open that wine I have always wanted to try
then I open it
I refuse to die guessing ......
