Time flies … it’s that time of the year again. A potluck Christmas party for friends and former co-workers. A party that we aptly called … “Christmas Group Therapy”.
This year’s party invite.
Christmas Trees Are Up!
It’s that time of year - Christmas trees went up the day after Thanksgiving!
More Holiday Cooking
[26-27 December, 2022]
In continuation of my holiday culinary adventures, I made some shrimp sushi bake cups, a variation on the popular sushi bakes. I also prepared more fruity, Christmassy pavlovas for my next-door neighbors.
A Christmas Bread Wreath

Christmas Potluck Party
[9 December, 2022]
This year’s Christmas potluck party that I host for Honda co-workers/friends was as festive and flowing with delicious food as any. The weather also cooperated, with highs in the mid-40’s.

Reunions, COVID-19 Tests, and Christmas in Manila
[15-16 September, 2022]
Nothing like a superspreader event to spoil reunions with friends of over 35 years so Covid antigen tests were in order prior to these get-togethers, Oh, and it’s already Christmas in Manila!
Smelling A Lot Like Christmas
You know Christmas is just around the corner when the house fills with the sweet smells of smoked, “honeybaked” ham. In the Big Green Egg, of course.
Looking A Lot Like Christmas
The Christmas spirit has arrived … in a most modern way.
Almost Christmas
Christmas mode on as the tree and other decorations go up.
