Christmas Eve: One of our favourite East Indian Cuisine Curry House's were open so we all settled in there for a scrumptious Christmas Eve dinner. Several delicious dishes were shared amongst us all as the snow fell fast and heavy outside. My husband's plate, pictured above, got to be the photo of honours.
Christmas Day: The morning was quiet and bright with all the snow that fell the day before. As the temperatures dropped and the wind whistled outside, a humble slice of homemade pear sponge cake was enjoyed with a glass or two of champagne after seasonal greetings were shared.
Boxing Day: Was again quiet and more modest. With temperatures still holding well below the minus range, I made a hearty vegetable soup, which I will post about in the new year. Cheese and crackers, nuts, olives, nibbles and a selection of my baking held us throughout midday and early evening.
Of course the Holidays... or Christmas wouldn't be without our Fortnum and Mason's order. Delightful culinary treats such as sauces, honey, jams, tea, coffee, biscuits, seasonings and condiments will be enjoyed throughout the year.
