From all of us here at World of Matticus, we’d like to wish you a safe and joyous holiday season!
I just popped open my gift boxes from Greatfather Winter this morning. Hello Red Rider Air Rifle! Right now I’m in the process of tagging the various Horde faction leaders. Can’t think of a better way to spend part of my Christmas morning than that!
Anyone know what a hot pot is? It’s a thing that Asian families like to do for dinner once in a while. It’s exactly what it sounds like. There’s a big pot with a gas (or electric) heater underneath. The pot’s split in two with boiling hot water on one side and boiling hot water with spices on the other. And we’ll just throw in a variety of raw stuff and wait for it to get cooked before we devour it. Lamb, beef, chicken, oysters, mussels, fish balls, mushrooms, noodles, whatever. It all goes in and mmm, its so yummy. Just make sure the stuff is kicked.
Swag
I love my friends. They have a knack of knowing me. Here’s what I picked up this year:
- George Foreman Grill (Steak and eggs anyone?)
- Wanted on DvD
- The Laws of Simplicity
- 25$ gift card to Chapters (Some people don’t like gift cards. I’m not one of them. I like being able to choose what I want)
Merry Christmas! And don’t forget the sauce with your hot pots, too!
Hot pots are really great for winter. For us, we don’t go to the trouble of a split pot, just a regular pot. Spices are then mixed into our own saucers with soyo sauce, vinegar, chilli sauce, garlic, etc. according to personal taste. I like to go soyo sauce with a touch of garlic and some chopped scallions.
Argh, this is making me hungry!

@Maaya: oh yeah, the sauces are aweeeesome. Forgot about that. I usually go for peanut and soya sauce here too
Happy Holidays Matticus!
Happy Holidays and grats on your epic loot! lol
I love gift cards. We got two this year; Home Depot and Johnny’s Selected Seeds. I can’t wait to start planning our huge garden 🙂
Our menu this year consists of a big hunk of roast beef and the usual sides. The cats got into the pumpkin pie I made though 🙁
