Christmas Dinner 2011

Gaz managed to fix the oven in time for the big stars of our Christmas dinner - Roast Pork and Roast Whole Chicken with Roast Veges.

This is the first time I've made Christmas dinner, previously it was more relaxed lunches (as if!). This year's dishes:

Garden salad (with homegrown tomatoes)

Roast Chicken and Veges

Garlic and chilli prawns - nearly 1 kilo of prawns here - spent so much time peeling and deveining them without cutting them apart!

Seared sea scallops with asparagus sauce

Chinese Roast Pork - crunchy crackling!!!


Not pictured - pumpkin soup and watermelon sorbet, home made as well. I must say the sorbet turned out to be more like granita but Gaz loves it so much he's steadily polishing the container, especially since it has been rather warm lately.



I had over catered of course, too much food for 5 people but we only had enough leftovers for a couple of meals each afterwards, so it was a good outcome!
