I have to admit that I gave Church a miss today. The other Canadian couple posted to RAF Molesworth came over for a marathon cooking bee for Christmas, perogies and tourtieres. We prepared all the ingredients and broke for lunch. We went off to the Greenman Pub for a carvery, a huge dinner of beef, pork or lamb, roast potatoes, and Yorkshire pudding all smothered in a delicious gravy. The vegetables had to be served in separate bowls as there was no room on the plates.
I must remember if there is work to do in the afternoon, do not have a huge meal and a pint of cider and a pint of Old Peculiar. It was a wonderful meal in a tradition pub atmosphere (I had to keep my head down when walking around).
The rest of the crew tackled the mounds of ingredients while I went for a time out. I was eventually dragged back into the kitchen and taught to make perogies, many, many perogies.
After that very filling meal I didn't think I would be hungry again until breakfast, but so as not ti insult the cooks, I had some perogies and a slice of Louise' delicious tourtiere.
Friends dropped by to sample our wares and we finished the evening sipping single malt scotch in front of the fire.
