I can just see me on one of those, You Need To Eat Something Gross, shows.
Host: First up! You need to eat a spider!
Me: Done!
Host: That was just some random spider. You need to eat this tarantula!
Me: *burps in satisfaction*
Host: We haven't even started yet!
Me: Well bring me another one, then.

Since I've been sick and haven't had much to do, I downloaded, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, on to my xBox.
Haven't played much but I can already see why it won Game of the Year for 2025.

I have been home sick from work for 3 days now!
I have all the symptoms, name one, I've got it. I'm winning at being really sick.
How do I know I'm really sick? I'm literally drinking shot glasses full of #Buckley's and I like the taste.

It's definitely #winter in the #Maritimes. It's cold, windy, and there is snow in the ground.
Just the weather for a hot eggnog and rum, with some fresh nutmeg ground on top.
In this case it's #Northumberland eggnog and #SpicedRum from #BlackGalleyDistilling.
A warm NB hug!

I don't go to WalMart very often but a 6.5kg whole turkey for $25 was something I couldn't say no to.
Brined, spatchcocked, then rubbed with salt, pepper, allspice, sage, and thyme.
Into the oven at 425 for 30 minutes to start. 🍜🍽️

I love my mother-in-law for so many reasons, but I won't lie.
One of those many reasons is introducing me to cream cheese and cherry sandwiches.

I like playing #chess games that allow 3 days between moves, because life happens and I like having time to think about things.
If you're looking for a long, slow game send me a friend request here.
My current elo is about 960 so I'm still very much learning and want to continue to learn.

My #SecretFoodConfession. I eat kiwis with the skin still on them.
The first time I had one I wasn't exactly sure what it was or how you were supposed to eat them, so I just washed them off and ate them skin and all.
I find I still prefer the texture and the sourness of the kiwis with the peel on.

Happy 10th birthday to my Scout #dog.
We met her when she was 8 months old. She had no name. Was in a crate the whole time. When she found us and we found her.
She was dog #1119 when we met, she is my Scout girl and Dog #1 forever in my heart. #Heinz57 #Mutt #AdoptDontShop

My #schweinshaxe is done! Flavour was great but unfortunately the skin stayed a little too soft and chewy.
Can't be perfect every time but other than that the meat, gravy and potatoes were perfect.🍽️🍜

'Twas The Night We Killed Santa - by me
'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house,
We waited for Santa,
To be done with that louse.
The connibears were set by the chimney with care,
In the hopes that "St. Nicholas" Would lose a limb there. (Continued)

First up, cut up, deboned, skinned, and portioned out a whole #chicken.
Normally, I would render the fat and skin down but my schmaltz jar is full, so that went to the crows.🍽️🍜
