  1. Midnight Mass

    A fiery sad Christmas drawing with Mary Ann. She murdered a mass of purists for executing Niamh, her friend-lover-ish. She lost her swampy sanctuary and now she gotta make a move to a town that's right for her.

  2. STINCO di #AGNELLO BRASATO al PIEMONTESE
    (“”)
    Dinner for New Years Day 2023 is braised #lamb shank in the Piemontese style or tradition.
    Here is a lamb shank drowned in red wine for two days with herbs and vegetables; whereas it’s then seasoned and browned in the pan and cooked in the wine with a bit of chocolate, tomato sauce, honey and a few other herbal notes.

  3. CARDI FRITTI della NONNA
    (“”)
    Batter-fried #cardoons or #cardone are annually made in memory of my paternal grandmother’s birthday. She was born on New Year’s Eve.

    Also, a platter with #salami, in memory of my grandfather, who was self-employed in the meat business, including sales of salumi (various cured pork and meat products). This brand is made with barrel-aged high whiskey by Creminelli Fine Meats.

  5. Today’s my favourite day in the #ChristmasTide — the feast of Stephen (#BoxingDay or #WrenDay as it commonly known).
    But why do I like the #FeastOfStephen so much? Two reasons and it’s not really about the Saint or the day:
    1. My favourite #Christmas song is #GoodKingWenceslas — it is a beautiful song, with an iconic melody; the song is set on this day “Good King #Wenceslas looked out, On the Feast of Stephen” In fact I like St Wenceslas far more than St Stephen, but that’s another story.
    2. This reason is the one I like the most. There is an odd tradition in #England to give unnamed parliamentary buildings the name of “St Stephen’s (insert building here)” — why? Well let’s look at who St Stephen was (in brief).
    He is considered the first #Christian #Martyr or known as “Protomartyr”. He he was a deacon in the early #Church at Jerusalem who angered members of various synagogues by his teachings. Accused of blasphemy at his trial, he made a speech denouncing the authorities and was stoned to death in 36 AD.
    I was told by an officer of the Houses of Parliament the #myth is that his name is used because he stood for justice and truth, as the Mother Parliament should. An irony — even from its inception and especially today.

    And there we go; happy Boxing Day / Feast of Stephen.
