Merry Christmas !

I enjoy the winter season. Sooo many excuses not to be outdoors. And this puts me at odds with thePOO in that he thinks rain is something special.

Now for the good part...FOOD!
This year it will be Ham.
Took me a year to find a seller of aged country hams.
We will have sweet potatoes.
Field peas with snaps and cooked "greens".
Sweet corn.
Southern style biscuits.
House wine is Alabama Sweet tea.
Desert will be fruit and nut pie with coffee.

Plenty of music on the radio as the TV is broke.

Good cheer to all!
