Well and truly stuffed
Our spread @ ChristmasChristmas traditionally sees us stuffing/guzzling ourselves silly. This year was no different. In fact, methinks I can still feel last nite's beef making its slow migration from my small intestine to the larger. *Belch*
As it was our first Christmas away from home, I decided to give my MIL ONE day of rest (heehee!) and whip up the Christmas fare. On my Christmas menu:

That was how we spent Christmas, how did you spend yours?

Two thumbs up to Qiubio for an excellent attempt at preparing a feast for all to enjoy. Wish I could have tried some of the good stuff.
I hardly did anything this Christmas -- only boiled pasta cos' wanted to rest. Quite a bit of stuff was bought (Turkey, ham and French pastry) and my MIL cooked some pasta for the kids, and some zucchini and mushroom dishes. Mum prepared egg and potato salad -- yummy. And Geri did a very refreshing and beautiful fruit salad. Von prepared roast beef. We also had log cake, courtesy of Geri's parents.
