I'm sorry Jocke, but those last 3 pictures just killed my appetite. Do they taste as good as they look?

Excellent photos John.

The red rose is a real nice touch.

Thank you Stevo Merry Christmas... I thought use the Hershey dark chocolate background to match the fading/tropic dark brown dial and the rose to match the red writing

I try to post photos when I get a chance, and I certainly appreciate that most here enjoy them... There are many excellent photographers here on TRF, Jocke, JJ, Dan, Javerleon... too many to name and I believe these excellent photos are part of the initial draw to TRF until the new members develop friendships within our community... Course it's always a treat to a WIS to see good and sometimes great photography of their favorite passion.

My family is over 2000 miles away, Roxanne's are at least six hours away; my store is open for last minute Christmas shoppers until 6PM, Roxanne is on duty at the care center til 10PM tonight... Most of my cooking will be early Christmas day, we hope to feed at least 200 underprivileged and elderly a traditional Christmas lunch (turkey, dressing, ham, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, vegetables, yeast rolls, cranberry sauce, pies and cakes) tomorrow. Daniel and Maggie of Daniels Grill, a few Rotarians, a County Commisioner and some Sheriff, Fire and EMT members in cooperation with Mason Transit (acting as a free dial-a-ride) have hosted this event for the past several Thanksgivings and Christmas's.
