All this food looks so yummy. I have never had a flaming Christmas pudding (or a Christmas pudding) so this looks really interesting and fun. Have a wonderful T day and count down to 2024. hugs-Erika

We bought a Christmas pudding at the grocery store one year just so we'd know what the Cratchett family was having in the Christmas Carol story. That was fun. All your food looks delicious. That roast! :) Happy T Tuesday

Your food looks gorgeous, lovely to see the flaming pudding. It all looks good, except from the weiss Wurst, I find them awful. But that roast beef looks wonderful! Valerie

Himself's aunt used to make plum pudding. That brought back some delicious memories especially her hard sauce. Happy T Day

All the food looks delicious and I love the glasses in the first pictures. Do I spot a Yorkshire pudding on one of the plates? Are you sure that is a Weißwurst? It looks like a Bratwurst. Both are delicious.

Oh my! A Christmas pudding. Setting something on fire at the table feels very festive to me.

I was in the process of leaving Erika a comment when I head a loud BOOM and the room shook. Then I was in total darkness. It was an outage on my side of the street. The street light and houses/porch lights on the other side of the street were on. Since it was about midnight, I was hoping Sally was awake and would call the electric company, but that was obviously not the case. The first eight hours of darkness were tolerable enough, but after that, all I could do was dig out four warm blankets and add them to my bed. For nearly two days I was without electricity and heat. Even my hot water heater has an electric start. I had just enough hot water to make coffee, something I can't live without. When I woke yesterday, I saw the light on my electric clock was on, but it was still too cold to leave my bed. Just using the toilet was bone chilling. I have an appointment at 12:40 today, so this is a copy and paste message. I will be back after I shower and keep my appointment. Just wanted everyone to know your TSFT host has not forgotten you.

lots of good eating going on there Mae!

This comment begins with another copy and paste. The appointment I referred to in my last comment was for my eye doctor (ophthalmologist). I was sure I was going to learn if my retina was torn and if I needed an operation. Instead, I was taken to seven different rooms by seven little helpers and never once saw the doctor. Each "helper" gave me a different test. Each time they did, they put either one, two, or three different types of drops from different bottles in my eye. I got so tired of hearing the words "blink, blink, blink" after each drop was inserted.

At the end of the day, I couldn't see a thing. I was given an eye patch to wear over my "good" eye. I must remove it when I shower and wash my face because it cannot get wet. It has put a strain on my "weak" eye and I can barely see anything. However, the little helpers don't believe I have a retinal tear because I apparently exhibit none of the symptoms which I won't go into, except I had a flash of light once. Since I can barely see, I will give a half-hearted attempt to leave you a decent comment.

I love Christmas pudding, but haven't made it for years. Nat put on a spread and I love the plates.

Miriam had a lovely spread, too. Beautiful plates.

Wow. Those are some incredible sausages Alice had. And their Christmas dinner looks marvelous.

Thanks fpr sharing all this food and drinks with us for T last week, dear Mae.
