Happy Winter Solstice?!
 

The winter solstice is already dreary due to it being the shortest daylight date of the year, but today it's even more so with this heavy rain. Anybody else having a drink way too early today?! I've also eaten the weirdest things. :ohdear:

Happy Winter Solstice to you, also.
 

For me, no early drinking, I'm driving. As to weird food, give me time. If the food isn't weird, the combination might be considered to be by some.
Let us ask that the new solar year be better than the last.

I've had my usual oatmeal and banana, so there's no way I'm hungry, but I dived in deep into trail mix (full of sweet stuff) then popcorn with butter and hot sauce. All with a goblet of white wine!!

Then lentil stew. Now potato chips with more wine. Definite binge day.

Omg!
 

Somebody is eating out of boredom, sounds like. Here in Brownwood rain has stopped. So, maybe, take a walk??
Not sure what I will get to eat when we get home. My wife will let me know. These kinds of decisions are above my pay grade.
😃

Days will be getting longer. Hallelujah.

Good idea, just went to get jigsaw puzzles, so that will help the boredom!

although the sunrise tomorrow (07.17) is a minute later than today (07.16) so enjoy the lie-in

it keeps getting later until the middle of January (07.22) but the later sunsets more than make up for this

Very dreary day, wife and I went over to the new Earth Fare this morning to exchange the Turkey we bought last week. It was pouring rain but very little traffic. I guess everyone stayed home. How about a holiday cocktail? (Definitely not for the diabetic.)

Does anybody drink these things? Besides me.
:)

Not my cup of tea.

Ooh, there's an idea!

Those are not my usual drink go to. Maybe a cranberry martini could be festive!

Florida can be beautiful, but my Wisconsin roots keep taken me back this time of year

Where modern science and pagan traditions meet

For me it's Tamale Time!

For many families, Christmastime means tamale time. From the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Dec. 12 through Three Kings' Day on Jan. 6, tamales are a culinary requirement.

Treated ourselves to a debate which is better Hennessy XO or Remy Martin XO during the presidential speech?
