Well another Xmas has past. I had it in my head that this was the first Xmas i had spent away from home or away from family, but im sure its not, rather i think it was the first Xmas i has spent with just friends and not any family mmmmz.....
What ever it was this will be the Xmas forever marked as the one with a distinct lack of pressies. We did have a household Kris Kringle tho and THANK YOU John Foong for inventing that crazy present stealing game, i am now a proud owner of an Akira DVD box set.
We had a gathering over at my place for Xmas eve and *sigh* i cant say it was the same. Sure sure its minus the family, but the John Foong Xmas Party's have come to define Xmas the last few years.
Get back to Sydney John! maybe ill join you there next year :p but back to London. We had 11 of us total at my place so naturally you look for a turkey to feed 11, apparently a 7 Kilo turkey was the right one for the job. Terrified that i was going to run out of food I decided to do a pork roast to go along with the goose fat potatoes, butternut squash, sausages and bacon. Now for dessert, there were i think 3 chocalate cakes, ice cream, fruit and custard, stewed pears, yeah alot of food.
So these few days it has all been about creative cooking. Judging by this morning last night's BBC recommended turkey curry was abit mmm yer. Turkey stock miso ramen was alot better and tasted normal. The question is what am i going to do with the rest of the turkey, yes there is still more.
