Share Your World – 23/12/26

Thank you Di for this week’s Christmas questions.

1 – Which do you prefer, Christmas pudding, mince pies, or trifle?

Oh I love all three. However, I have literally just finished a mince pie so I will go with that, with a cup of tea of course.

2 – Which gives you the most satisfaction:

Cooking a special meal for your family / Dining with family and friends / Not having to do the washing up afterwards.

I will say dining with friends and family as I’m not the best cook ever. I’m not bad but I find it stressful cooking for many people. Also I actually really enjoy doing the washing up, I find it very therapeutic.

3 – Can you recall the best and worst gift you received (any occasion)?

Best gift, I once received an iPad from my parents when they had just come out, I was very excited, surprised and grateful but I have had many from my partner over the years. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, I’m easily pleased if there’s been some thought put into it. Worst gift, I haven’t had any thing horrendous thankfully, not that I can recall.

4 – After a full and enjoyable meal what do you prefer to do:

Take a nap, watch TV or play board games with the kids?

Maybe watch tv or I don’t mind board games with the family. Ideally I would love to go for a walk after a meal.

Gratitude:

Grateful to be off work on Christmas Day as I know this isn’t the case for many nurses.

  1. I have never had any of those Christmas dishes.

    My wife is Polish and so every Christmas Eve we get together with her mom and brother for a Polish traditional Christmas dinner.

    Of these dishes, Pierogi is my favorite. However, this is often served throughout the year.

    My wife makes a Holiday salad, that is kind of like a combination of potato salad and coleslaw.

    But, unlike the 2 more familiar American dishes (that I do NOT like), her Polish salad has the hard boiled eggs chopped into fine pieces that don’t have the texture of eggs.

    This adds a complimentary flavor to the potatoes, peas and carrots.

    But, perhaps the dish that is reserved only for Christmas Eve is Borsch. This beet soup can also be served in a cup (Kubek in Polish) like tea.

    Drinking Borsch on Christmas Eve warms the insides and helps that feeling emanate outward towards the family.

    Wesolych Swiat!

    Pronounced Vi-So-ick Shvont.

    Means Happy Holiday.
