[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 110773, member: 1991"] We had Christmas with easy child & BF1. He did all the cooking, he's good at it too, but made far too much. Christmas Eve - he served us some home-made pork and apple pies, and lamb pies when we arrived. He was making mini-pizzas for finger food. For dinner we went out and bought some doner kebabs - lamb. Christmas Day - we grazed on macadamia nuts, nut biscuits, M&Ms, kri-kri peanuts and Turkish bread with tzaziki. And mini-pizzas. Then lunch - all cooked ahead, or barbecued outside, so we wouldn't be heating up the house (it's hot enough in Canberra in summer!). Purchased barbecued chicken, barbecued ham steaks, prawn skewers, roast vegetables (reheated in the oven) and more pies. Greek salad. Dessert was Christmas pudding with brandy, cream, ice-cream or custard. Then we had a chocolate fondue with fruit. Not just strawberries, but we also tried mango, red currants, cherries - all delicious. BF1 wanted to dip Turkish delight into the chocolate but we stopped him. Boxing Day - leftovers. This included the dishes we hadn't got to on the previous day. Mostly we ate leftover pies and chicken with salad. And more Christmas pudding. And the Christmas cake. Next year we'll be back at home, I hope. And I refuse to cook too many different things, it's crazy. We'll see. Marg [/QUOTE]
