I am, of course, talking about the much advertised 'end of the world' that was supposed to have happened today, which never did. And the fact that you're reading this blog days or months after the supposed 'event', kind of proves that humanity lived on and survived this. Maybe you're reading this blog centuries into the future, trying to understand what humanity was like right now. Wow. What a gem you've uncovered today. This is what people long dead got up to.
Anyway, I wrote a blog post recently, about something I did a year ago called Yule Brinner. To summarise, this is breakfast for dinner, on 21st December, also known as Yule, or Winter Solstice. Basically an excuse to devour some meat.
This year, we did it again, and it was great. Please note that if you want to celebrate Yule Brinner properly, make sure whoever's doing it is a decent cook. My wife, Heather, does very good brinner.
This is the action you have been missing out on.
A delectable meal, split into four quarters.
To the West, baked (not fried or grilled) chipolatas. My wife bakes sausages, which is a much neglected way of cooking them. It may take longer than the conventional methods grilling or frying (or even microwaving), but it makes for a much mightier sausage.
To the North, Heinz Five Beans (haricots, kidneys, pinto, cannellini and borlotti) - to add a bit of class without being too far away from the norm. Lovely.
To the South, creamy, delicious scrambled egg.
And finally, to the East, grilled streaky bacon. Yum yum.
Deliciousness in all directions.
Save it to say, Yule Brinner 2012 was a success. And just to recap, this is what we had last year, just to show you the variety you can have for 2013. Maybe Yule Brinner 2013 will be massive.
I have to say, this looks really good. :)
