Well not here anyway. As in my home. No decorations this year, no tree, no presents. It's odd.
But things are on the up.
Cooking a nice meal for Sunday lunch, a few good friends coming. All very impromptu.
Smoked salmon salad with horseradish cream.
Vodka marinaded steak with beans and sautee potatoes. ( email me if you want the recipe)
Blueberry and Raspberry Creme Brulee.
All washed down with some 15 year old St Emilion and a rather fine Pouilly Fume.
Oh and Bollinger to start.
Maybe this will be the start of something better.
I sincerely hope it is. It's been an odd Christmas here too. MIL in care has meant FIL spends most of his time with her, and can no longer be bothered with the trappings at home.
ReplyDeleteSeems 2012 is a year of change for us both, fingers crossed it all goes to plan.
