Season Greetings Everyone.
It is Boxing day here in Australia, after a delightful Christmas spent with family and friends in Hobart, not too hot, but beautiful azure blue skies, and a breeze blowing over the Derwent River. Saddly it was not clear but very hazy.
I awoke having had family issue need for mince pies, 5 dozen made, and 2.5 dozen eaten! OMG. My DH loves them and told the kids that they were only for decoration. That he knew how many were there and well of course no one took any notice. My brandy butter was almost too intoxicating. Mind you it went pretty fast onto plum puddings.lol Little Grand daughter loved the Toblerone mousse.
I also made a lovely mango, rockmelon, cucumber, salad with spring onion greens, garlic and balsamic vinegar Yummo went brilliantly with ham and turkey.
I was so busy having such a lovely time eating trout, home cooked ham, turkey, salads with mango, rockmelon, mushrooms and rice, new potatoes (pinkeyes) and enjoying the company of those we love. Saddly not with my side of the family but knowing they were having a very pleasant time in their homes.
For my northern friends, Austraila kind of closes for the rest of December to early -mid January now. Hope you do not need a solicitor, a specialist doctor, accountant, many other businesses take the time from Now through to at least 4 th january off.
No photos today. Just wishes for you all to have a safe, happy, and contented holiday season.
