It's been a tradition with Rob's family for me to cook Christmas dinner. I really enjoy the opportunity, despite still getting a bit worked up that it will all turn out alright. This year's menu was highly successful - and by that I mean that it all came together fairly seamlessly, with the recipes I used being quite reliable, the recipes I made up working out better than I'd thought, and most of the work having been done ahead so that today was a bit more relaxed than in previous years.
Cheers!
B.
