A Summertime Christmas Series!

While some of you are scraping ice off your windshields, I'm down to shirtsleeves. It's a nice hot day outside, just a smattering of high cloud above while heat and a hint of rain-to-come fills the air.

As Scott put it so well,

Wish you were here. The mountain walks, the sun-kissed beaches, the wildlife and bizarre plants and flowers. The festive people, the general vibe. T-shirts all day, and ice-cold juice at the end of it all.

In honour of the summer festive season, I'm going to be posting a couple of cool recipes, our favourites - both Christmassy, and summery. You may not want any summery ones if the snow lies up to the eaves, but perhaps you'd find the Christmassy ones to your taste - literally and figuratively.

Watch for any post labelled "SXMS" (summer Xmas, of course - what were you thinking? :) )! First one coming right up.
