We were very blessed and fortunate to have been invited out to various places over the festive season, and we had lots of great food shared with great friends. These aren't necessarily the best ever dishes or photos, but they were eaten in good company with good conversation.
Christmas Party 1: Roast beef round 1 - this was pretty yummy but slightly dry.
There was a very yummy salad with rocket, sundried tomatoes and cranberries with balsamic vinegar
Turkey - with plain boiled veggies
Roast beef round 2 : much juicier this time
Grilled sausages
Next up, a new year's eve dinner at an old friend's house - clams with garlic, white wine and crab meat
Which went on top of angel hair pasta
The salad which looked really colourful - we brought a cheese platter with quince paste, dried apricots and nuts which I regret not taking a photo of
The star of the evening was this roast rib - straight out of the oven, done to rare-medium-mediumwell perfection
Dripping with juices - beautifully done
A closer look
So good you can even eat it on its own
Last, but not least, we had our usual Christmas dinner at the inlaws' place. Unlike previous years, this was a smaller-scale affair, but as yummy as ever.
Ham with honey mustard and grilled pineapple rings
Turkey - this was perfect.
Potatoes, oven-baked and pan-fried, with paprika
The entire spread
Sausages
Veggies to make ourselves feel slightly healthier
The ham was super yummy and sufficiently un-salty
The husband carved the turkey expertly
Log cake made by the SIL
