It is impossible to go on a diet during the Christmas season - roast lamb, chicken, pickled beetroot and salads and the lovely pink wine (courtesy of JM). There are 3 seats still vacant - my joy will be complete when these are filled up !! Cheers!!!
Happy post Boxing Day! I had 11 people for lunch yesterday.Entree was asparagus wrapped with salmon,smoked chicken,cooked prawn. 2nd course was seafood risotto followed by smoked turkey,apricot glazed ham and roasted pork with roasted potatoes,brussel sprout,carrot,parsnip and brocolli with fried rice. Sweet was fruit salad with cherry soaked with grand marnier,and viennetta ice cream plus christmas cake with brandy custard.Drink was punch and coke plus wine. I spoiled my family and my closed friend once a year as they have been good to me. I only "cook" once a year,and they appreciate it. It was fun, lots of work and preparation but I enjoyed it. I hardly eat myself, too busy to feed everyone else, but I loved seeing everyone so happy and seeing my "family" being together. After lunch we normally stretch out on the sofa, on the floor watching movie and going to sleep. It was a relaxing atmosphere. Most of my freind will stayed for dinner (eat the left over) some come the next day eating more, hanging together whenever we can when we are not busy. Forgot to take photos. This year Yvne and I went to mid night mass at the catheral,so many worshipper ;there were standing room only.I really enjoy the carol singing.LOVE IT!
