Merry Christmas!


Just a quick post to say a Merry Christmas to everyone out there reading this! Hope you've all enjoyed a fantastic Christmas meal with loved ones - I certainly did :) Today the family congregated upon our place to have Christmas dinner, and here are some snaps of the food on offer:

Smoked salmon, garlic aioli and chives on crackers

Orange glazed ham studded with cloves (made by Mum)




The finished product complete with icing sugar snow and a puff of smoke from the chimney! Click here for more photos of my gingerbread house.

Choc Ripple Yule Log (made by my aunty)
