I get so tired and feel like I just want to sleep in and forget xmas sometimes! Clean the house, and cook. No wonder I always look yukky in the xmas photos!
But.....it seems they like to come sit around the table and just enjoy whatever I cook.
We had a xmas feast last Wednesday as my son and his new gf will be over in Bali for xmas with her family.
We had roast turkey, roast potatoes and sweet potato, crumbed cauliflower, tossed salad, quiche, salmon (for the vegetatian daughter) and that yummy tiger loaf bread, with the crackly top.
Desert was cooked by the son's gf's father, he made the most delish sticky date pudding!
And I was spoilt, the son's gf bought me white roses and a bottle of Mumm Champagne!
Never had french champagne before, I think I am really going to like his new gf!
Now, tomorrow, there are only 5 of us, but still have to cook (again!).
I will do a roast marinated pork fillet. Of course the good ole humble spuds. Salads. Salmon (geez it's pricey! one sliced piece for one person is about $7 ea).
You know, I can't remember what else, the fridge is bursting at the seams with wine, beer, soft drinks, and the desert will be Heston Blumenthal's hidden orange christmas pudding with ice cream/whipped cream or custard.
Then I make cuppacino with the Caffitaly machine.
Then the rest of the day I am doing SFA!
