Christmas Dinner 2010

We had our Christmas dinner with the inlaws on Christmas Eve since the poor husband was rostered to work on Christmas Day (well, someone's got to do it!). The MIL is a simply amazing woman. I thought that last year's spread was virtually unbeatable, but the MIL managed to put together a top-quality feast again this year that rivalled - if not surpassed - the 2009 dinner.

Everything cooked and ready to go
The turkey

Chestnuts and brussel sprouts

Carrot and raisin salad

The ham. Oh, the HAM!

The MIL baked it with mustard, honey and cloves

Potatoes

Salad

Stuffed Portobello mushrooms

The entire spread...inside

Salmon stuffed with herbs and baked with lemon

Mushroom soup

The entire spread outside

Dinner from the perspective of....the turkey.

Close up of the ham being sliced. Moist, sweet, sticky, and absolutely delicious.

Home-made Tiramisu courtesy of the SIL....top quality as usual.

Isaiah 9:6 - For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

Have a blessed Christmas everyone : )
