Karen: And it was so hot out there. All sweaty. Limited space has certainly made sure I am keeping tidier.

Will get the recipe over to you. Have to pick a good internet one because I just do it by memory.

Sounds amazing, all of it, and you are a TROOPER for cooking on a solitary stove outside with no counters whatsoever! It really is true, you can make a feast no matter how limited your resources are. It all sounded delicious, and I'd love the recipe for your rice dish.

RJ: I must say that there is lots of walking every time we head out to the fridge - which is a good thing.

Nobody got the almond - there was so much rice there that it could not be found. Although, my brother is still eating his way through it all and may come across it.

The neighbour was definitely in denial. Still, when I think about it, it's better to go the way he did rather than linger on for five years in a nursing home like my father in law did. Having to be fed, washed and toileted.

Time for a new adventure indeed.

Gia: Busiest time of the year for cooking - I would not like to do it every day or even once a week.

Next year, not so much rice.

Ms Topiary: Ah, yes. That nibbling thing that happens. I had a binge on M&M's just before. And a pick at the pretzels. Some nuts. A bit of nougat. Incremental pigging out.

I hope you had a lovely Christmas.

Jebaru: I had one of those sleeps. But I think it may have been more the sleep of sleeping off the eating.

Was your day good? And warm? Did you get the rain that we did?

There are 15 mins left of Christmas here, so happy Christmas, and sleep the deep sleep of the virtuous, after all that cooking and caring for others.

How much food can one put in their stomach on one given day?

Hahah. Lots! Esp. chocolate, and fruitcake, and nuts! As I found out!

Funny pix of you outside at your stove! How brave of you to cook despite the renovations!

Merry Christmas to you!

Wow, that sounds like an exhausting couple of days...

Wow, that sounds like an exhausting couple of days! I think I'd be grossed out by the rice thing too, bleh.

Merry Christmas!

I think it went well with your picnic in the livingroom.

It must of been difficult running back and forth with the stove by itself and cooking. That was like a 5 k all by itself.

I have made a copy of the ris ala mande recipe and will try it out tomorrow! By the way, who got the almond?

Your neighbor did not fool the doctor. You can always smell smoke on a persons clothes, breath, and the fingers have that color. But he was in denial and that did him in.

It was nice of you to visit the wife, very kind.

Almost the end of the year and time for a new adventure!
