Food, Fun and Frolic!

Well I for one had a fabulous Christmas. Starting off with a holiday visit to my cousins house. It was nice to see my aunt and uncle and the kids too. The crown roast of pork was so tender and juicy, and the tarragon sauce to go with it so creamy, YUM. She said the pork was really easy to make, but I know it's expensive so I won't be making that anytime soon. Then 2 days of cleaning and cooking and wrapping presents. (Thank you DH for all your help) The inlaw's came over Christmas Eve. and can I just pat myself on the back and say they went nuts for my food! Who wouldn't with Prime Rib as the main course. It's so impressive, and trust me when I say soooo easy. Read the recipe you'll see what I'm talking about. Christmas Day I did spend the whole day at my sister's house. We may of gotten there a little too early. They were finishing breakfast and running around straitening up and doing the dishes. Sorry sis! But I needed to get cooking on the slow cooked pulled pork for the sandwiches I was making. It was worth the worry cause those were some yummy sandwiches. Of course the soup they made was good too. My sister makes the best red pepper soup, and my niece made spicy sausage with cheese tortellini soup that was fantastic, I'm making myself hungry cause I brought some for lunch today, yum! I also made 3 dips that were good but nothing to blog about. But this was, Panettone Bread Pudding with Cinnamon Syrup you had to get some quick cause it was gone FAST. What's not to love eggs, cream, bread! Did I mention I'll be starting a diet in the new year!? And by diet I mean eating right and exercising more.
Well I can't let this be just about food, it's isn't even friday for crying out loud. So here are some pictures I promised to post of the bracelet I made for DH's name for Christmas. Now I can tell you he had my nephew's wife's name. Like I said I was dying to make this bracelet from Rachel Nelson-Smiths new book, and here is how it turned out




I would of loved to have seen her face when she opened it. I did talk to her on Christmas, she said she loves it and can't wait to wear it.
She's due to have her baby boy any day now and as she's said the sooner the better. She can't fit into any of her clothes, but can't wait to wear it when she can. I used a little black vintage button that I had for the clasp then made 3 loops so it's adjustable, knowing that she be losing weight once she has the baby. Good luck sweet O and may my Mom be right when she said "once you have that baby in your arms you forget about the pain you went through! (and my I all so say, better you than me!)
