Oh Hal, am so so sorry to hear about your mum. This has been one horrid year.
Glad you have family to help you with such sorrow. Keep in touch when you can.
Sending caring thoughts and hugs your way.

We’ve always done bubbles for brekkie on Xmas morning, sometimes straight,
sometimes as mimosas. Mmmmm.
Estella, sounds the same as caffé correto, and the Portuguese *mumble can’t
remember*.
Cheers,
Jo in Halifax

Bubbles for brekkie sounds good to me! In Madrid it's customary for men to
have a shot of cognac with their morning coffee, while women are more likely to
have a shot of anisette, such as Marie Brizard. Some people mix both to make a
"sol y sombra" (literally "sun and shadow").

Vicki, when we did this years ago, it was an open-ended free-form thing, with
no real-time encounter. More like a day and a half or so of people sending in
their virtual foodie contributions, and having a collective giggle. [Emoji]

Hah, yeah, I’d be up for it (with a wine or bubbles in hand!) but probably when
it’s evening for the rest of you I’d be having breakfast haha!

I think we should have a virtual cocktail party to celebrate this occasion!
I can bring a couple of pitchers of rebujito (half 7-Up, half dry sherry) and
some finger tapas like Spanish cured ham, aged manchego cheese and a big
platter of chilled jumbo shrimp with ali-oli for dipping.
Anyone else? Julia? Kelly? Hal? Vicki? Stacey?
No face-masks required !!!
