MERRY CHRISTMAS! MY BOYS ARE CELEBRATING!
Hello, and a very happy festive season to all my friends!
It's Christmas day in Britain, and after battling with my camera for ages, I finally managed to get it to work for long enough to take pictures of my boys enjoying their Christmas breakfast (pretzels) and a full turkey dinner. They're going to be stuffed!
This year there are twelve as a new Ianto has joined the gang. He came from Cardiff where he probably used to stand all alone on a shelf. He's happy now because he has Coat Jack! Needless to say, Coat Jack is also very happy.
Here they all are having breakfast. There were only a dozen pretzels so Nosy had some grapes.
New Ianto is the one in front of the snowman. He has a teddy bear.
Here's the scene from the other direction.
I served their dinner before letting them into the dining room. There's gravy and cranberry sauce on the tables, and plenty more turkey and vegetables on the side tables so they can help themselves. There's also Christmas Pudding and Mince Pies.
I hope they're all hungry!
Looks like they're all enjoying themselves! I hope you all are too!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, OR HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL! *HUGS*

Yes, they have Yorkshire Puddings, they like a traditional Christmas spread. Sprouts too! ebay is my friend. You can get thousands of different 1/12th scale items that are ideal for action figures. I love buying miniature foods for them, they get two meals a day! Usually the have their plates on their laps, but I wanted them to have a proper sit-down meal at a table this year!
Thank you!

I was lucky with this one, no one else bid. I tried for another one listed as 'used', but the bidding went too high. I hope he got a good home.
They were so stuffed from their big dinner they're just having grapefruit for breakfast today. I might take pictures later if I can get one of my cameras to work. I had trouble with them yesterday.
Thank you! Merry Christmas!

Looks like the gang it having a great time, and I hope you did as well. :)

They really seemed to enjoy themselves! I've switched the tables around today so they can have dinner again later, this time the ones who had turkey dinners will get the chicken and vice versa. I didn't have enough turkey dinners to go around as they're a bit pricy Maybe by next Christmas I'll have got enough. None of them were complaining though.
Christmas day was very tiring, and I'm still tired today because I had to get up at 7 again, but everything went well yesterday and I can have a bit of a rest today, enjoying my pressies =)
Hope you had a good time!

(Anonymous) 2014-12-26 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)Love this.
Glad that you got another Ianto.
He will fit right in.
Grapes are better for Nosy anyway.
Our boys are having a wonderful dinner.
I hope everyone had a great day.
Re: Dinner
They had a wonderful day, and enjoyed boxing day too =)
Nosy is very fond of grapes, it'll do anything for a grape - or a sprout!
Thank you!

Mince pies over here are made with mincemeat which has NOTHING to do with meat, it's a sweet mixture of dried fruits and spices, and it's mostly used in small individual pies, served hot, sometimes with brandy butter or custard. Christmas pudding is one of those things people either love or hate, very rich and usually containing alcohol. I like it, but mum hates it, so I rarely have any.
The boys had a lot of fun and got quite stuffed on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day. New Ianto has settled in very well, he and Coat Jack are very happy together now =)

As for sweet stuff we mostly eat bought sweets, mostly chocolate, or you bake cookies. We use for our cookie a recipe based on short pastry.
Ah, thank you for clearing that up! I really thought meat was involved in mince pies XD So they are filled with orangeade and candied lemon peel and stuff? If so, then I fear I wouldn't like it. I was scandalized recently to find that stuff in Heidesand (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidesand#mediaviewer/File:Heidesand.jpg) of all things *urgh*

Does it have to specifically be carp rather than any other fish? I've never tried carp, I don't think it's even sold over here. The potato salad sounds good!
no subject
I have no clear idea why it must be carp. Fish can be a symbol for Jesus/Christianity though...? As you can guess, I didn't exactly have a religious upbringing XD Anyway, mum doesn't like carp because apparently, it does have lots of fish bones...

Everyone has their likes and dislikes. Mum will happily drink milk, but won't eat white sauces or yoghurt because 'they're white and slimy. *shrugs* Most of my dislikes are due to food intolerances.

Most of my dislikes are due to me being a picky eater XD Yes, I have no shame, I can simply admit it XD

I love mushrooms!
no subject
I don't like gristle, but I have nothing against fat on meat; I like gnawing on ribs ^.^" I don't like fish/sea food, ground pork, beef from the cow (except for in Hamburgers), cheese, and any kind of innards. - Mum loves blood tongue *shudders*
Mushrooms are great! Chinese Wood Ear Fungi is great *yum*

Hmmm! Asparagus is really yummy! I don't cook myself, only bake, but I could ask my mum for how to prepare it? I mean, I know that, when you buy it and will not use it on the same day, you need to put it into the fridge, wrapped in water soaked kitchen paper so that it won't dry out. Then, before cooking it, you need to peel it, best done with a peeler instead of a knife (so that the spear doesn't break. Also, you need to cut the end off, because it's usually dry and stringy.
The rest, I could ask mum about, as I said. It's really a great tasting vegetable, and pretty much a staple of Lower Saxony, with everyone eating it during the season, but the one imported from Peru (not Greece) is very tasty too :)

I do miss cheese, and also bread which I've had to stop eating due to developing an intolerance for most cereals. Really annoying and sad. I occasionally have cheesecake, that only gives me a mild headache.

The boys had a great time, but I had a nightmare trying to get my old digital camera to work to take the photos!
