Christmas left overs

December 26, 2007 Ghene 1 comment

This time of the year everybody complains of eating too much over Christmas :)   Well, must help out finish what we prepared with love won’t we? Anyway, remember that nice glazed chicken I cooked yesterday? There were lots of them left since M1 and myself are the only ones to eat them. Today (boxing day) I used the chicken leftover and braised it, Filipino style and let me tell you M2 finished every last bit of chicken off :D What’s left of the brussels sprouts and veggies were made into Bubble Squeak. The whole ensemble is rather good. I think I should do it again sometime in 2008… briased meat, fine egg noodles and bubble and squeak.

Now, to work everything out before the New year!

Christmas menus

December 23, 2007 Ghene 2 comments

Last minute shopping is a very horrible experience unless you walk towards the store. There were long lines of cars on the parking area of shops like Waitrose and Sainsburys, all waiting for a place to park. Anyway, I was initially looking for a nice small turkey but with the current prices and the fact that there will be only my son, daughter and myself who will eat it since hubby is a vegetarian, I decided to get a reasonably sized chicken.

Below are planned menus for Christmas Eve (dinner) and Christmas day lunch and dinner.

Christmas Eve dinner:

Garlic mushroom on toast
Fresh baby leaf salad
Roast pork with fruit sauce
Lemon cake

Christmas day lunch:

Fine egg noodles with veggie mince
Fajitas trio (chicken, pork and shrimps)
Pineapple flan

Christmas dinner:

Chicken with honey-lemon glaze
Roasted vegetables
Christmas pudding

Boxing day dinner:

Roast pork with fruit sauce
White rice
Vegetarian quarter pounder
Pudding topped with vanilla ice cream

Happy Christmas!
(planned menu still subject to change)

message for friends & contacts

Life is too short
to deny yourself some fun,
so make new friends,
and try something new,
be adventurous and be happy…

No matter how annoying your friends may be,
don’t forget that true friends will be there for you,
even if you doubt them …

So, if you are lonely, with friends or with family this holiday season,
Remember a little someone  thinking of you…

Have a Happy Christmas
and may the New Year bring you all the best life could give!

Lots of Love,

M &G
