MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Where to start? Christmas has jogged up, sped by, and gratefully limped into Boxing Day. Perhaps a summary of how things went down might help- although, being in holiday mode, my brain's not all here, so you might need to fill in the gaps yourselves.
On Friday, as the last day of work drew to a close, we all went a little hell bent crazy and roared into party mode by bringing in the sauv blanc and bringing up the YouTube on the big screen tv (ordinarily reserved for video conferences). It was officially P.A.R.T.Y time!!!!
We danced rocker style to Bon Jovi, Cold Chisel, watched Mr Jujitsu's weird heavy metal clips, ballet spun to Birdy's Skinny Love and had an incredibly fun disco dance-off. We were classy in an unclassy way if you know what I mean (we got totally tipsy in the privacy of our office, no mess, no embarrassment-- even if a bit nerdy), cheap, and so very memorable. Best final day of work ever.
Then it was Christmas Day and my sister and I cooked and cooked and cooked. We had:
- snapper that was baked in a salt crust
- brocollini panfried with garlic and anchovies
- seafood salad with prawns, rocket, avocado
- baked sweet potato
- baked regular potato
- mango, capsicum, tomato, and rocket salad
- berry and apple crumble with vanilla icecream
Most tiring cook off ever. But really really yummy:
And then it was today. We watched The Iron Lady while gorging on popcorn (see below). One of the best movies I've seen in ages. Meryl Streep is amazing- in the words of my sister: "She's old school good".
