Så er de siste forberedelsene i gang. Juletreet er pyntet, kakene prøvesmakt og julegavene pakket inn. Mannen står i skrivende stund og steller ribba. Her i huset saltes den i tre dager før den vannes ut siste døgnet. Kjøttet blir helt fantastisk!
Now the last preparations are on. The tree is decorated, the cakes have been tasted and the gifts are wrapped. The Man stands, as I write, on the kitchen preparing the meat. In this house we salt the pork rib for three days, before it's watered for the last 24 hours. The meat becomes fabulous!
Juletrepyntinga holdt på å bli dramatisk. Juletrelysene virket nemlig ikke. Heldigvis var ikke butikken stengt ennå, så jeg sprang til nærmeste butikk og kjøpte nye. I mellomtiden hadde Mannen fått de gamle til å virke, men nå har vi i hvert fall reserve. På samme butikk fant jeg også en bitte liten godbit som jeg kjøpte i julegave til meg selv :-)
The tree decoration was minutes from getting dramatic. The candles didn't work. Luckily the shops weren't closed so I run to the nearest one and bought new ones. While I was gone, the Man got the old set to work, but now we have spare ones. In the same store I found a tiny treat which I bought as a Christmas gift for myself :-)
This year's tree is decorated with alot of gorgeous decorations from the man's childhood days. Beautiful, old balls, cute angels and crisp baskets. Some of the new decorations I've made is also in place. Now we're enjoying a glass of wine while we're waiting for "Dinner for One" on TV. Have an enjoyable Chistmas everyone! :o)
