Sauce for the goose

[camile_sinensis]

This year, courtesy of Ebay, I have bought not one, but two big, flouncy taffeta evening frocks with puffy net underskirts. I have already worn the red one to The Husband's work's Christmas Do, but that still leaves the similarly be-netted black one. I am considering wearing it, Fanny Craddock-style, on Christmas Day while I swan around the

and gloves! Don't forget the gloves!

Enjoy getting sauced with your flaming hot goose and do Fanny up proud!

Absolutely! And if they can be asbestos=lined, so much the better!

[sapphire_hime]

That is quite the frock!

Indeed. The Husband actually noticed it (to be fair, it's a bit difficult to miss!)

Is determined to wear black velvet and pearls for Xmas day, regardless of the cooking. And at breakfast.

I think gin and tonics make the perfect compliment to almost any outfit, fabulous frocks included. If you plan on multi-tasking while looking smashing while getting smashed, there is absolutely no reason to not go completely over the top. Always look good, even while avoiding grease fires. =D

Oh, to be at your house and watch you work your magic with goose and G&T!! And all with black netting as well. I can only imagine, and it makes me smile. Just don't set your netting on fire!! :D

Yes, there is always the risk of conflagration when performing highly technical culinary...stuff. I always worried about Fanny and her bouffant 'do, which must have taken several cans of hairspray to fix into that rock-solid configuration. Fortunately, my netting is at the other end, so barring any episode of swinging from the light fittings* I should be okay
