Only three more sleeps till Christmas Day.
I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone's got planned foodwise. I bet the northern hemisphere people will be tucking into hot roasts, while we in the Antipodes will be a bit more laid back.. a lot of my eats will be round the BBQ, with lots of juices and cool fizzy (but fattening) chinnotto.
I have some friends coming Christmas arvo and staying a couple of days, and a couple of vegetarians arriving Boxing Day. Started to-day making 2 rather heavy parfaits (overwhisked the cream).
So here's Raggsy's Christmas fare:
