Oxtail cooked.

Cooked but could still use a tiny bit more time, oxtail does require an awful long time.

Edible, even goodish but not superb, I had an old onion that was old when Grace was here, and I thought I had some pearl barley but didn't so settled on some way out of date soup mix.
Eating it reminded me why I haven't gone to much trouble of late, bones! oh well into the plastic bag, into the freezer and wait for the next garbage day.

Sadly since this is the first time in many years that I've had to write a Xmas card, I've found out my motor skills have completely failed, I can't read my own scrawl, so please anybody don't send me any cards, it's too embarrassing, an email will be welcome.
