2025 - Today's Recipe

Traditional hot beef sandwiches at Daughters last night. Long walk to Helens grave with kato this morning then set the dinner away to cook. After dinner back to daughters with Christmas presents for her and grandkids.

I used to cook the Sunday/Christmas dinners fo the last couple of years of Helens life when she was ill where  I was  an unpaid Carer.

Today I served up two platefulls of dinner as I used to do, but his time Kato got a full Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. I sat eating mine and Kato looked at his, then looked at me, then kept looking at his and me in turn.
 I just  imagined him thinking "Wtf is this? It really cheared me up and made me laugh.   He eventually ate the turkey & stuffing, but naturally left the rest, which was to be expected.! I couldn't have wished for a more pleasant meal, but may suffer the consequenches later as my meals have been just about veggieless since last Christmas.
