  • A Christmas Carol
    LOUGHEED HOUSE PRESENTS A CHRISTMAS CAROL Written by Charles Dickens Performed by Steven Méthot INTRODUCTION Hello and Happy Holidays! On behalf of the Lougheed House Conservation Society thank you so much for your donation and for showing your support for the work that we do in our community. For many years during the holiday season we have had the pleasure of presenting the gorgeous and heartfelt performances of Steven Méthot, Natalie Manzer, and Karen and Michael Pollock in our Drawing Room. For many, watching this performance has become a treasured annual family tradition and despite our needing to adapt to our current circumstances, we are so thrilled that we are able to share their performance in a new way this holiday season. For years, Steven, Natalie, Karen, and Michael have shared their version of this classic tale in order to help raise funds and awareness for community organizations that they support and believe in. It’s always been very clear to us at Lougheed House that this show and their collective performances were created in the same spirit and with the same values that inspired Charles Dickens to write A Christmas Carol - values of fellowship, community, giving, resilience and the importance of love. We are beyond grateful that they have worked with us again this year, especially while navigating the new risks, challenges and protocols that have all come to all our own doorsteps during 2020. Our wish for you this holiday season is that this radio play allows you to relax, recharge and connect with those closest to you.

    Vin Chaud Or Mulled Wine Recipes An easy and quick version Ingredients: 1 orange, sliced and seeded 1/2 cup sugar 2 cups water 1 teaspoon ground cloves 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 bottle red wine Add Amaretto or Brandy – optional Directions: 1. Combine the orange, sugar, water, and spices in a large stainless steel or enamelled pot. 2. Slowly bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. 3. Reduce the heat, add the wine, and slowly reheat but do not boil. 4. Serve warm in mugs. 5. Serves 8. Something a little more special | by Jamie Oliver http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/recipe/jamie-s-mulled-wine/ Ingredients: 2 clementine’s 1 lemon 1 lime 200 g caster sugar 6 whole cloves 1 stick cinnamon 3 fresh bay leaves 1 whole nutmeg, for grating 1 vanilla pod, halved lengthways 2 star anise 2 bottles Chianti or other Italian red wine Direction: This dead simple to make and tastes like Christmas in a glass. It's a lovely celebration of those traditional festive spices like cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. If you've got your own favourite spices, then feel free to add those to the pot too. Let everything cook away and warm up gently so the flavours have time to mingle with the wine. I like to leave my mulled wine ticking over on a really low heat and just ladle some into glasses as and when guests pop in. Peel large sections of peel from your clementine’s, lemon and lime using a speed peeler.
