Hysterical! Someday I hope to meet you in person. You must be such a stitch!!!!! And I will tell you about the time I emptied a whole fire extinguisher in my new refregerator's freezer area (fully stocked) because I thought it was on fire! The detail are complete with the fire company coming in hazmat suites and the neighbores gawking, and one of my husband's patients telling him the house was on fire before I could call him! Funny now... not so much then!<br /><br />Listen, if you can cook a turkaling, everthing else is easy peasy! I am sooo impressed. You tackled this with a 3 month old, now I know that you are slightly off-center! Did I say Hysterical?<br /><br />Coming to visit you is so much fun!<br />Yvonne<br /><br />PS. please revisit my post for today- I had to add something, and I had you and some other very dear blog friends in mind!Yvonne @ StoneGablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10071383858803336708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6985831825771206913.post-60152442386205763042009-11-14T07:05:33.587-05:002009-11-14T07:05:33.587-05:00A turkaling???

The one thing that you have to ha...Hi there Maggie,<br />The one thing that you have to have at an English Christmas dinner table, and it's something that you don't have, are crackers. I don't know if you know what they are.They are cardboard tubes covered in pretty paper and inside is a silly gift , a hat and a joke. You have to pull the cracker and it goes 'BANG' and then you can get the gift. If you like, I'll send you some. Just email me your address (only if you want to) and I'll send you a box of Christmas crackers. Also, a goose can be very fatty so its best to seal it in a frying pan to crisp the skin and get rid of some of the fat. I'll think of some other things to tell you about an English Christmas, later. <br />Loved your story. We have had the bird within a bird within a bird thingy.....it's a bit of a palava (English word, sorry).Don't forget to let me know if you would like a box of crackers.Jacqueline @ HOMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06154045482594773377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6985831825771206913.post-32724488812547389072009-11-13T13:16:32.993-05:002009-11-13T13:16:32.993-05:00oops, I meant to say we get together at New Years ...oops, I meant to say we get together at New Years for a week!~from my front porch in the mountains~https://www.blogger.com/profile/18103990196491433325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6985831825771206913.post-9619830892074766342009-11-13T13:15:29.809-05:002009-11-13T13:15:29.809-05:00Is it really only two weeks away???
We will be in ...Is it really only two weeks away???<br />We will be in the barn...munching carrots with the kids!<br />We do nothing for Thanksgiving or Christmas. We celebrate in N.C with my whole family. It's the only time I can get a horse/dog/cat sitter!<br /><br />But that's ok. I love Christmas Eve in the barn! The animals talk you know!<br />Misha~from my front porch in the mountains~https://www.blogger.com/profile/18103990196491433325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6985831825771206913.post-75328007577638224132009-11-13T11:59:06.732-05:002009-11-13T11:59:06.732-05:00Maggie:

You make me double over in laughter; even about the "turkaling" I have read bout them but never eaten one and that is over the top about you prepare it!!! <br />I like your choice of Christmas cards and you have the budget thing right on the top!!!<br />Take lots of photos of the English dinner and plum pudding.<br />You are a hell of a nice person!!!<br />Hugs<br />carolea Bohemian Markethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155708452552265719noreply@blogger.com
