It's actually been a really nice Christmas here too. Was sad about missing my family but my house pulled together and we all contributed something from our countries to the day so we had a British/Bulgarian/Palestinian Christmas.

Running no point.

Just took the kitten out for a walk* and we met a stag! The stag and the kitten both went loving apeshit and I decided on Marcie's behalf that we would withdraw.

* 5 month old kitten and we're in an unfamiliar place halfway up a mountain so outside happens on a lead at the moment. Neighbours think we are hosed up.

The hierarchy of side order chips.
Best on left, worst right.

Wedges <- Chunky Cut Chips <- Thick Cut Chips <- Thin Cut Chips <- Having Nothing <- Sweet Potato Chips

This sounds good! What does Bulgarian/Palestinian Christmas feature? I’m mostly asking about the culinary aspects

It's a Christmas miracle.

I was honestly a bit worried that you'd made a precise hierarchy of real chips that were worse than having nothing and only ate sweet potato chips, because y'know, goons and food.

Sweet potato chips turned me onto the idea of mayo and chips. It's a godly combination.

Yeah they do.

They only crisp if you dredge them in cornflour or some other starch first.
If you don't do this they will never crisp on their own.

Unleavened bread with a coin in it and cauliflower soup to start., Baba ganoush, hummus, pickled cabbage leaves and stuffed peppers combined with the nice bits of a regular roast dinner. It was pretty rad.

I don't like sweet potatoes in chip form, someone else can have mine. They're too sweet and clash with whatever savoury food they're accompanying. Stick them in a curry instead.

Family Christmas has now reached the point where I'm beginning to look forward to it being over. Hopefully the weather will hold so that people can go out for a walk and relieve the claustrophobia.

I have to say I’ve spent the entire Christmas with only my partner (for the first time) and it’s been wonderful. I haven’t had a Christmas with my family for four years because the last one was a total disaster and my brother (who is terrible) literally blocked me and my sister on social media because he can’t handle not being pitied. We spent it on a good vegan dinner, loads of nice booze, and good walk, Goldeneye (the film) and now playing cyberpunk. Merry Christmas all

The reason horses do the teeth thing is because they have a secondary nose in their mouth called a vomeronasal organ.

You can also have a vomeronasal organ if you drink too much at crimbo and it comes out of both holes.

Picture unrelated.

Thanks! And I have just realised that in Goldeneye, Pierce Brosnan - first Irish James Bond, his first villain is called Trevelyan. The poetic justice is not lost on me. Warms the cockles of my heart

I spent all day cooking and was fairly astonished to find that I actually made a very nice Christmas meal. I enjoyed watching Soul, and now I’m watching through the BBC show Ghosts, which is pretty good. Even if it was alone, I feel like I’ve had a very nice Christmas.
