On another miserably wet and windy day I made much headway on reading Ernest Hemingway’s first novel, originally planned as “Fiesta” before being given its title, “The Sun Also Rises”, which I will feature when I have completed it.

We dined this evening on further helpings of Jackie’s wholesome turkey and vegetable stewp with fresh French bread and butter.
Ian had returned home to Southbourne earlier to put in a couple of days work. He will return for New Year.
Your dinner looks really good!
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Oh boy, that looks so delicious, guys! Yes, please. ☺️
Thanks very much, John
I agree with the comments on how delicious dinner looks. I’m sure everyone enjoyed it .
Thank you so much, Pat
Haha, Day four of turkey leftovers!
I think turkey soup might be on our menu tomorrow. I might even manage a plate of pickles and turkey!
Don’t you just love Christmas?
Indeed. Thanks very much, Sue
It always seems rather strange when a photograph makes your mouth water!
Thank you so much, John
Dinner looks very good, Derrick and Jackie! This is the weather for such hearty meals! Rick is making cassoulet tonight.
Thank you very much from us both, Lavinia
I didn’t realize that The Sun Also Rises was differently titled in the UK. It was published in 1926, and then, in 1927, published in the UK by Jonathan Cape and titled Fiesta. Very interesting!
I hadn’t realised that, either, Linda. Thank you very much
This is the first time I’ve ever seen you neglect to say which wine you had with dinner. What’s up? The soup,however, does look deicious…
Didn’t have any until afterwards – Kruger – a red which Ian brought over. Thanks very much, Judy
I wondered about the wine, as well. 🙂 Soup and good bread is a perfect meal.
That’s interesting about the title. I like The Sun Also Rises better as a title.
Yes. Thanks very much, Merril
Oh, what a nice cozy meal for a miserable and wet day.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
The perfect meal that warms your soul!
