Although my love of British television has spoiled, or “spoilt” at the Brits would say, the ending for me, I’m watching The Celebrity Traitors on Peacock while I ride the bike trainer.
Instead of trying a new recipe tonight, I’m resurrecting something I’ve made many times — “Andouille and Chicken Jambalaya” from “Louisiana Real & Rustic” by Emeril Lagasse.

Happy Boxing Day! Whatever the hell that is…
I have a ton of winter farm/garden chores which must start soon. They are not starting today because I am using this new-normal warm weather to go outside and hike/ride… or, I am going to Norcross to meet up with BRAG Steve and his family. Lord knows that I can’t do both on the same day… 🙂
Christmas dinner was okay, but neither the pork nor baked beans were as good as I’ve made in the past.
It doesn’t appear that I’ve cracked my crockpot liner, which is good. I may wind up giving it away anyway because I have the Instant Pot, and don’t really need such a large crockpot any longer.

Merry Christmas all! And if you don’t celebrate, Happy Thursday!
I was going to go to the Atlanta German Christmas Market this year, but when I looked it up a few weeks ago, I discovered that the Atlanta German Christmas Market is now held in Lawrenceville. Hard pass.

I am trying to support craft brewing, but they are making it harder for me to do so. I went to Monday Night Garage on Monday, and when I looked at my receipt yesterday saw this at the bottom “The 3% Service Charge goes towards our Employees’ Health and Wellness Benefits”. Nowhere was this service charge mentioned prior to my closing out my tab, nor was I given an option to not pay it. It should not be my responsibility to pay for a company’s employees’ benefits outside of the prices charged for goods and services.

Weird request: does anyone have a recommendation from where I can order custom stickers, reasonably priced? I want to order fewer than fifty of a yet-to-be-designed sticker.

It was good to see the Wheelhopper Pub Crawl come into 97 Estoria yesterday, where my buddy Hank and I were seated at the bar.
Today is the day on which I registered for BRAG.
Tonight’s home-cooked meal will be “Cajun Sausage and Potatoes” from “The ‘I Love My Instant Pot’ Affordable Meals Recipe Book” by Aileen Clark.

When Wee Little Bit was a wee lad his parents took him to get his picture taken with Santa at North Pole, New York. I know, because somewhere I have a phot of me crying on Santa’s lap.

Grading My Baking/Cooking From Yesterday
Beer Quick Bread [source: unknown] = A
English Muffins [source: “Small Batch Bakes” by Edd Kimber] = B (the recipe works, though it took much longer for my dough to rise due to cold kitchen conditions, and, I rolled my dough too thin.)
Skillet Cornbread Pudding with Ham & Pepper Jack [source: “Making It Easy” by Food Networks Kitchens] = B+ (very tasty but probably better as a side dish, and it stuck mightily to the pan in which it was baked; plenty leftover for at least four more portions.)
