as i work my way through the weeks i’m playing a little time capsule game. they say 1 month recovery for every year of drinking. i’m at 3.5 months so it puts me at summer 2019. i took a really great vacation that summer. can’t wait to wind the clock all the way back and relive all those years (some better some worse) to 20 years ago

hi
day 37 - did my knee and back in at the same time - so been in bed a lot (not that painful if I rested)
so not posted while I slept and dreamed and healed
I'm up and about now (I really need to get fit - it's like I'm walking about with a pig on my back - weight wise)
It's above freezing where I am and there is blue sky :-)
anyway - well done if you did another day :-)

Hi :-)
prepping Christmas dinner - just done the bechtel sauce for my cauliflower cheese (cauliflower cheese might sound disgusting with turkey and roast potatoes and apple sauce etc. - but my grandad got me hooked on it as a side dish for Christmas dinner about 60 years ago - he's dead now - but he lives on through cauliflower cheese at Christmas dinner)
- just a roux sauce (50% butter melted + 50% plain/all purpose flour - cooked to a thick paste on a medium heat - and then add 8 times weight that of warm milk and simmer while stirring till thick - stir in the cheese a spoonful at a time till melted (I'm using mature cheddar + red Leicester + Roquefort blue : 4-2-1 ratio) and then add salt and black pepper as you like it (I get that you are supposed to use white pepper with a bechtel sauce for a more sophisticated nuanced flavour and an aesthetically pleasing sauce [no black dots in the sauce] - but you simply just cannot buy genuine white pepper in Britain - almost all of it is tasteless burn flour or other fake muck)
anyway - well done if you did another day :-) and love yourself at Christmas
PS - thanks for the concern about my bones - I'm better now - my new year goal is get slimmer ...... I hope

Hi Undies, well it's all over bar the shouting, and some have maybe had some of that! I hope everyone enjoyed a sober holiday and are looking forward to 2023 with clear minds. 
Happy 2023!
