I’m about to get Chrissy cooking! And as a nod to my Canadian friends, I paid the extra $3 and got proper Canadian maple syrup
And a quick Christmas tradition story. I used to clean for this really grumpy old lady. Her name was Betty. And I was literally the only person who could endure her rudeness and her refusal not to smoke ciggies while the cleaner was there.
Me: Hi Betty, I’m here to clean for you
Betty: Well open the door and get started you fucking idiot…
She was so gruff. Over time I got to know her. She lived a tragic life. Dead child. Abusive husband. The works.
Anyhoo it was before Christmas and I was talking to her about glazing my first ham. I was asking what you use to get the glaze on.
Me: Do you tip the glaze on?
Betty: you use a brush you fucking idiot. You can have mine. I’ll never use it again.
18 years on and I still use it. And every time the head falls off I think of Betty looking up from hell, gently and lovingly whispering to me with her gravel like voice “put it in the bin and buy a new one you fucking idiot” lolllllinggggg!
Ham Tradition: Bit of Biffy fucking Clyro. The lead singer is my hall pass.
Here’s an early Merry Christmas. I love ya guts! Xo
