Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Quick update guys. The ham is cooked. Looks and smells fabulous. Wine is flowing and I'm feeling very mellow. So mellow that all your posts are making me quite emotional. If I start telling you later that I love you all, ignore me. It's the wine talking! Although I do like you all but more of a (wo)manly hug than a snog. ? ?

Might as well lash this mistletoe in the bin, then.

I’ve seen him do that on tv before - doesn’t he call it “velveting” the chicken or something similar? Sounds lovely though. Will have to give it a crack one day.

I know what you mean about the texture of raw eggs and handling them, but my patience supersedes any issue I might have with that so when I need to separate an egg I just crack it into my hand and let the white run off into a bowl and chuck the yolk wherever its going.

Yuck.

No I couldn't do that mate. I juggle the yolk between the two broken halves of the eggshell whilst the whites run off into a cup.

The chicken is really soft and in this recipe you also coat it in sesame seeds. It's delicious. If you want I'll put the recipe in Sassy's thread sometime soon. There's a couple of things I've promised to update in there when I get around to it.

Fairytale of New York now playing on my playlist. Absolute classic. Especially for all our Irish friends in here.

Happy Christmas eve everybody. Here's to you Messy for providing us with this wonderful thread.

Well said Fred.

Doom bar - good West Country beer I think.

What's the lager in Kernow , should be able to remember it but can't.

OK back from the pub.

Had a very unfestive Fish and Chips - but it was great and limited myself to just 1 pint of Guinness.

I plucked up the courage to ask Mrs J why her mum hated the Beatles.

The story passed down through the family is as jaw dropping as implausable / possible.

Her eldest sister ( 1 of 6 !) now passed away had gone into town for the evening and came back hideously late.

Her mum gave her down the banks and was threatening to hit her when she blamed Paul McCartney for being late home saying that she had been in the Cavern and he'd been chatting her up.

Apparently since that day Mrs Js mum was set against the fab 4.

Mo was 18 years older than Mrs J so its possible or perhaps she just thought of something to distract her mum - who know!

My eldest sister went out with his brother Mike when she was a nursing student. ;)

Little known fact abut Paul McCartney. When he was a toddler he used to live in the same road as me in Speke. His mum was the midwife there.

Think we are both in the same Christmas boat this year. I am sure there are others, so apologies/sympathy if I have not twigged them. I dont know about you, but I feel pretty detatched from everything. Not in a sad way, but like missing a concert that you might have enjoyed.

Zoom call tomorrow with the family and my Dad who is in hospital, lunch after that with Mum, and to lob another log on the fire, a blind(ish) date on the 27th. Life is just mental.

Take care my friend, it seems you have a smashing circle of supportive pals in that there Cornwall, and most of all, Happy Christmas.
