Christmas
I have my wishlist! I went shopping yesterday and saw a few things I like. This year’s list have things from Tiffany, Gucci, La Mer, Victoria’s Secret and a few books (of course one of which is a cookbook).
I know what I am getting for Adam. I will get his gift today. I can only tell you after Christmas what it is as I do not want it to get back to him.
Now that that’s out of the way, it’s time to plan Christmas dinner! We will be spending Christmas this year with Beatriz and Richard over at their place. Some other friends who are not going home will be there with us too.
Beatriz and I will be doing the cooking and the guys… well… the guys will be drinking. We will have a turkey for sure so either we get one ready from the deli or I roast one.
I will be making roast potatoes, stuffing and gravy since that’s on Adam’s must-have list. Richard is Norwegian so Beatriz will make his traditional meal which is roast pork ribs glaced with Norwegian fruit preserves.
There will be salad and some other sides (which I believe will include bacon and ham) which we need to plan later today. As for dessert it could be pecan pie since we are in Texas or maybe my favourite cream brulee.
The girls will get the food covered and the guys will get the drinks. Richard loves whiskey so we will be taking a bottle of single malt over, I bought ginger ale yesterday, so that’s done. We just need champange, beer and wine which the guys still have time to get.
What else are we missing? I have the santa hats, Beatriz has got the Christmas tree and decorations up, Richard has the songs covered… what else?
I think I should think of pre-dinner munch… olives, pistachios, cheese and dips with crackers and some fruit. I guess that’s all. I will start making a list soon just so we have enough food. Somehow I have a feeling we will have too much to eat and drink, we’ll see.
