Thank gawd that's over!

Opening night, "Manipulation of
Reality"
for nine weeks here in Zevenaar.
Months of prep, all day setting up, 38 images mounted, framed, and hung.
(they said they had "room for about 25", had to be a bit creative there too)
I'm knackered!

Thanks to Annie for all her help, even though she's not a well bunny.
Thanks to all who came and for all your kind words, (and thanks for not
insisting on a speech)
Thanks to the "Bieb" for letting me through the door.

Now, can I go back to being a trucker please? It's a damn site easier!

One good, very good, one not so.

Pheasant, seasoned and drizzled with olive oil & honey, roasted in the oven.

"Soesjes"
(mini elairs, cream-filled, sans chocolait)

Most Pheasant recipes advise filleting the meat off the bone,
I now know why hacking it in half and chucking it in the oven is the "hopefull cheat's" way out.
The dam-ting is(was) wild!
got bits of shot still in it and is so attached to it's own bones
(well, you would be, wouldn't you?)
that it's not that easy to get stuck into with a knife & fork as yer average 1/2 chicken might be.

The "Soesjes", however, were just XL-ent.

Happy New Year everybody

As of today "JokerXL productions" is a fact!

Went down to the chamber of commerce in Arnhem yesterday and registered
myself as a company.
There's a lot more involved than I might have imagined and I'll have to get
down to learning the ins and outs of it all.
Exhibition opens tomorrow www.JokerXL.com/exhibition for nine weeks.
All sorted, ready to go. Once I get the opening night out of the way I can
go back to being a trucker again and it'll all take care of itself (yeah,
right).

I'll have to get a little sign made up "Managing Director" and put it in my
driveway for my parking space, well, there should be some perks!

I caught Annie ironing the wall.



(pre-wallpapering, flattening the bumps, she claims)

The first ice skating races on natural ice have been held, needs a few more
days yet before any chance of an "elfstedentocht".

Pretty chilly out there this morning.
They say it'll stay under zero all day, fantastic blue skies after midday.

Stuff the Turkey!

Just a turkey crown this year, there's only the two of us.
Stuffing's in a dish apart.
Garlic/Rosemary rolled in bacon and stuffed into little holes made into the
turkey breast.
Butter under the skin to keep it moist and then protected with bacon strips.
Placed on a bed of stuff to keep it off the bottom of the roasting tin.
Cranberry & Apple sausages in their blankets with a sprig of Thyme (our Sage
bush has expired).
