We had a quiet day. Mark got the stalls cleaned. I got dinner prepped. I did say it was a quiet day.
I had a brisket in the oven for a few hours. Yes, under the onions there is a beef brisket. The onions absorbed all of the goodness as the brisket slowly cooked. I never tire of wonderful slow-cooked winter meals.
Now another year begins. 2025 was unstable and unsettling. Will we be turning a page? Ever hopeful. We do what we can and we appreciate what we have. I appreciate all of you. May it be a good year.

Winter meals are so comforting aren't they? Your dinner looks amazing and your home looks so warm and inviting and cozy. I hope 2026 is a better year for you!
OH my goodness, that brisket looks AMAZING
Your home always looks so welcoming and warm. And I'm hopeful for a better year for us all.
I don't know when we met, whether it was just this year or a little earlier. I know it hasn't been that long compared to some. It's been good to know you and see your home and wonderful meals.
I agree with Boud, your home always looks so welcoming and warm. Thank you.
Here's to 2026! I wish I lived close enough to come over for dinner!
Your table looks lovely, complete with candles and good china. I like a good brisket but rarely make beef. Maybe I'll pick one up, but they're so expensive now.
Stay warm my friend.
May you have a good year too!
Beautiful and heartwarming photos. Happy New Year. 😊
Your photos are a comfort in themselves! Such a beautiful fireplace, and that meal, oh my.
Well, I couldn't keep 2026 out, so I let it in. I haven't even gotten a calendar for it yet.
What a beautiful place you have and meals that make my mouth water!
A light snowfall in Belfast. Unusual as we get hardly any snow normally. Yes, may 2026 be a lot better than 2025.
Well sh-t, I just read the news.
Thank you , Lori. I hope it's better for all of us.
I used the leftover juices to make a gravy for a leftover pork roast, Miss Merry. Not bad!
I need to get out and meet some people to welcome into my home, Boud!
I think it was spring of 2024, AC. I have enjoyed your good humor.
Back in the long ago years I had blogging friends visit, one from Denmark who has remained my friend and infrequent visitor, Cheerful. You would be welcome!
You would be so welcome, Lori.
Beef is incredibly expensive, Pixie. The candle holders were my grandma's. The china was my deceased best bud's grandmother's.
Thank you, Far Side.
Thank you, Linda. May it be a good one.
Nothing like slow cooked food, Sue!
The new year doesn't knock. It just pushes its way in, Val.
I hope you enjoyed it, nick. It hasn't started out well, the year.
There is no bottom, is there, Val.
I love cooking beautiful things, I love a perfectly prepared roast... goose, beef, veal, lamb, venison... your dish looks fantastic.
I wish you a happy and healthy 2026.
Best regards, Viola
Everything looks incredibly cozy and oh my on that meal!
Looks like good eats at your house. Here's to a fun 2026!
