Christmas Eve 2009
My initial intention is to make a roast turkey which is very "Christmas-ty" but unfortunately, it's way too big for the two of us and of cos our small fridge cant even fit it in...Hence, we made a 1.7 kg pork roast after reading the free Christmas food idea magazine from the supermarket..and the 1.7kg is the smallest one we can find in the supermarket section..everything from the hams to the turkeys to roasts were all gigantic...it's like for an army...
It took 2 days before hand to defrost and set it and 3 hours on the actual day to create this master piece...And it was a success! See how crispy is that pork crackling...almost identical to the pic from the mag..haha..I am so proud..
The Xmas hats I got one year ago..haha..finally has the chance to wear it.. The white wine and red wine is for show only...lol...we end up drinking soft drinks..haha
Enjoying our food..the pork taste really good with the thick brown gravy made from the pan juices and with apple sauce..
Its actually the first time that I'm celebrating Christmas with Gavin despite we were together for more that 3 years plus, somehow we just missed it...I'm glad that I can celebrate with him, despite being in this small town..and nothing much we can do after eating except from watching the 2009 Victoria Secret Show on TV..
But anyway,
To my dear Pinkies and anyone who's reading this, here's hoping you get nice gifts that don't s**k. Though it's the thought that counts, but it's really good taste that's appreciated. LOL
Wish you a
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
