Smorgasbord Christmas Celebrations Rewind – The Ninth Day of Christmas with guests John W. Howell, Sandra Jackson, Chocolate and Non Alcoholic Wines

 

Spiced Red Cabbage…It was a toss-up for me as today as it should have been the last post of my environmental A-Z but Christmas is nigh and we all know by now what we should have done and so I decided it can wait until the New Year…food for me always invokes memories…of places and people…

This beautiful red cabbage always reminds us of a dear departed friend… Pauline, I always think of you when I make this recipe…Christmas cake eaten with cheese makes me remember Sue Vincent as it was she who passed that little gem on to me…Cheers, Sue…this year I have another little gem to add to my recipe book of memories from Mary Smith …A beautiful soul who in her own words is on her “final Journey“…I am heartbroken…  Mary has supported me and my girls through our yet unfinished journey but being the amazing soul she is she has been a great comfort to me… Mary has left me with a new way to eat Christmas cake and that is to fry a slice of cake with bacon…I mean bacon makes everything taste better…Go with peace and love, Mary…

I also have to mention Sally...I have struggled most days to get words down and make a post and “The Twelve Days Of Christmas”  has been a godsend by sharing my festive recipes…Thank you, Sally …Hugs…today Sally treated her special guests to my Red Cabbage recipe…Please click the link below and read all about Sally’s Christmas memories and the memories of her special guests it is a heartwarming and delightful read #recommended read

    Thanks for sharing Carol and catering the parties.. and also your mention of Sue and Mary.. both in my thoughts as I look back on the last two years and in to 2022. This Christmas is definitely infused with sadness. I will be around a lot less next week… I hope that Lily will boost your spirits..♥♥

    I see that many bloggers are winding down as the year comes to an end. I’m going through a bit of that myself, especially as I get involved with family stuff and some outside writing projects. I say cut yourself a break when you don’t feel like writing, Carol. Have a great rest of the week. We’re heading out on Thursday and my blogging will be sporadic for a few days.
