Mop Philosophy Monday

 Did you have a good Christmas week?  We've been tucking in like Tucking In Champions.  MrBP took the opportunity to polish up the copper pots after our big Christmas dinner.  I think he does a better job than anyone, how about you?
 I put the brandy away.  We're all sad about it!
A variation of Nigella's North American Salad.
I substitute pomegranate seeds for the cranberries.
Greens, wild rice, turkey and a shallot vinaigrette. 
 I've eaten several kilos of turkey, I can't eat any more: no way.  Well maybe more of this salad, inspired by Nigella of course.

Look, you can see for yourself that Santa brought me a new dish scrubber.
 It wasn't all business in that stocking, he did throw in some Marron Glace.
Candied Chestnuts.
 Santa brought new boardgames of the Ticket To Ride variety: the American version as well as Nordic Countries, and Old Rascal bought the Europe version as a gift to his sisters... I highly recommend this game.  We've spent many happy hours playing around the dining room table since Christmas.

 I've been wearing this Brora stole around the house non-stop.
It is a neutral grey with subtle bits of embroidered colour, I like it over black.
I think it would be fun to do an outfit post for New Year's Eve, what do you think?  We're going to a dinner party and I haven't decided in any way on what to wear... it's going to be last minute, we should prep together.  Champers tomorrow in front of the clothes cupboard, what do you think?
