Ah yes - ever the faithful housekeeper! ;-)
But I hope it's wild, not farmed - tastes much better, and fewer toxins - Beethoven didn't have to worry about that sort of thng.

Wooohoo I'll join in with Beethoven on that! :-D

Hello Night Owls

Tis the season to be Merry Now, what would be the setting for our dear Ludwig's Christmas? Any ideas?

Cheers

A combination birthday-Christmas celebration, at a local coffeehouse with all of us!!

LOVE and ADORE Ludwig and his music!

Okay, Joyful, I am on! How wonderful would that have been for our dear one That is awesome! Then afterwards we would have to duck out for some of his favourite red wine! Ja!

And perhaps after for a midnight snack at Philip's! What fun!

Merry Merry Christmas and Holidays to all!

And the same to you, Ann, and to everyone on this forum!

Good night!

LOVE and ADORE Ludwig and his music!

speaking the master sisters... his birthday is this week! :-D

This is dedicated to Joyful.

(instead of Brahms and Clara Schumann it could be Joyful and Beethoven)

Happy Holidays to all of us people (even to those who don't believe in God, but they nevertheless enjoy the fact that other people who do believe in God have established these Holidays for all of us)

Wow - Marios!! I am so excited to have someone identify me so closely with my dear Ludwig! And this music of Brahms - it's one of my favorite pieces. Thank you, Marios!! And to my dear Ludwig - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my very beloved! And to everyone - a very blessed holiday season!

LOVE and ADORE Ludwig and his music!

What a beautiful piece it is. Thank you Marios. And dedicated to a very JOYFUL person.

May your holidays be safe and full of laughter. Make sure to enjoy the time.

I wonder why, after Robert Schumann died, Johannes Brahms didn't ask Clara if she would marry him.

Good night!

LOVE and ADORE Ludwig and his music!

Maybe because he knew she was still Robert's. (They came together to Rosemary Brown.)

Well, as you probably know, in France (and Germany, Spain and I believe most of continental Europe) Christmas is celebrated on the 24th.

On the menu tonight :

Appetizer : fresh figs with parma ham, served with a crémant d'alsace;
Entrée : gambas with avocado, salad and coriander, with a Côtes du Rhône blanc de blancs;
Main course : venison steaks with pommes dauphines, with a red Minervois-la-Livinière;
Dessert :exotic fruit bûche.

That said, as an "Anglo" I do insist on having the traditional British 25th version, for which I shall be cooking a capon (simply a castrated and fattened-up rooster) with thyme and lemon, roast potatoes and green beans. I like white wine with my poultry, so it's going to be with a Vouvray.

Bon appetit, everybody. And of course, Merry Christmas !

Vive Beethoven!

Very elaborate and appetising, Philip. In Belgium, grand holiday meals are offered for the "réveillon de Noèl" at midnight (and after) on the 24th-25th of December. Likewise for New Year's Eve ("réveillon de Nouvel An"). Restaurants will not serve them before midnight. I'm not familiar with how they do in Strasbourg, since I presume they probably follow Alsatian traditions. - In any event - Merry Christmas - Vrolijke Kerstmis - Joyeux Noèl - Fröhliche Weihnachten to one and all!

Oh god now you got me drooling all over the keyboard philip! :-D

Oh Yum! I hope that all had a safe and wonderful Christmas.

Happy New Year!

The Traditional British sounds just perfect Philip! White wine is pefect too!

Cheers

Philip, we had venison too this Christmas.

Where's everyone??... everyone is been quiet lately.
