Pre-Show Dinner Begins Here (Page Two)
We were still visiting and then dinner announcement was made. Mad dash to the kitchen! The main event is soon to come! Flaming sugar and mulled wine - Feuerzangenbowle!
Awaiting dinner to be served
Everything is ready...
What is she up too?
This is my first wine of the evening... No, really!
"If the pot begins to talk to you, just ignore it! The ingredients are a little fresh"
This is a serious conversation!
"I love all the visiting that goes on"
"Did someone say dinner?"
Stories are swapped...
Not remembered.... Just swapped!
The gang just keeps on going
"Did you hear this one???
What does Santa bring naughty boys and girls on Christmas Eve?
A pack of batteries with a note saying "toy not included".
Gary shares a few Christmas one-liners with Paul....
What do you call a frog hanging from a ceiling? Mistletoad.
What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire? Frostbite
He is so sorry!
Marion tries the VR glasses...
What is she watching?
"Hans... We about ready to sit everyone down?
"
"I am missing one ingredient.... Eye of newt"
Hans decided NOT to served his speciality.... Sauerkraut Surprise!
Butternut Squash soup a' la' Thedens was served for dinner. An excellent choice before the formal part of the evening.
A beautiful soup
"Ah Hans... I just saw a head pop out of the soup!"
"Now I know what fresh soup really is!"
Over the teeth and through the gums....
Making sure everyone is done... Or looking for another!
Look up on the stairs... It's a bird... It's a plane.... It's a do-do!
They are ready for the main event
"Gary... Do NOT blow into that horn!
It is ready to go!
Looking good!
Just a few more appetizers remaining
"Just a little more, please!"
