6:40 P.M. and currently waiting on a roast ... tossed in all sorts of veggies and things, potatoes, carrots, brussels sprouts, onions, mushrooms, turnip, maybe a thing or two else, a one pot wonder easy dinner ... small sirloin stuffed with tons of garlic and not a thing else to alter the taste ... except pepper Will salt later ... on my plate, on top of the yummy pan gravy I plan on making

Had a surprize voicemail from a neighbor inviting me over for traditional turkey dinner and all the fixin's if I could make it over and eating time is ... Nice invite, but had to pass. As it is it's taken me all day (verra flared) to get in good enough shape to be able to be able to get my dinner on the go ... and i must say ... the roasting smells very good and making me very hungry.

Looking forward to the meal (haven't cooked aroast in decades and have no idea if I'm doing it right Time will tell ... am very much looking forward to leftover roast beef sandwiches.

Christmas day very quiet with lotsa resting and tv channel surfing waiting for readiness tackling dinner, which is happening late in the day/evening ... I expect ready before 7:30 ... had a few calls from family and friends, a few emails from friends ... nice day

Will properly take some pics of baskets goodies, maybe not tonight, and will pot 'em soon .........
