" Its Xmas ! "

Christmas "is the season to be jolly...tra la la la la ! " unless your a cook. While you are meeting up with friends in the merry month of December spare a thought for the poor and needy Cook !
Christmas spirit will be banned from the kitchen as the chefs run around prepping thousands of little green Brussel sprout monsters and screaming "Bar Humbug " as the check machine spits out another table of 12 people enjoying themselves who want to be fed ! The Radio will be lucky to survive not being placed in the stock pot as an irate Chef loses his rag as he has to listen to Shakin Stevens singing "Snow is falling all around us !"for the 96th time.
The upside is its a another menu to learn and Kelvin the head chef is always good at coming up with great dishes. I am particularly looking forward to doing the Wylam Beer battered Christmas pudding with Alnwick Rum sauce Yum Yum !

However while the Chefs will have faces that Mr Scrooge would have been proud of , Dave who is another one of the highly skilled pot technicians at the Tree house loves Xmas. Look at him happy, smiling and full of the joys of the festive forth comings. It was funny yesterday though when his girlfriend rang him and accused him of eating her part of the chocolate from their advent calendar it turned out however that their cat had climbed up the wall and eaten the chocolate out of it ! That's what Dave told her anyway ! ha ha !
