Christmas 2008 at Mt Helen

i have been busy this year with cooking - very unusual for me i have made christmas chockie royal biscuits, orange chocolate truffies and nut loaf with a red wine and mushroom gravey. the nutloaf wasnt my most successful attempt should have used fresh bread crumbs not boxed ones - you learn by your mistakes.
We started with chips dips and twiglets
mains included my nutloaf, turkey, ham, crayfish in sauce and straight, scallops with lots of veg and salad
and we finished with pud and stellas famous family trifle.
we had lots of wine and chocolate and cheese
think no one went hungry
christmas was decided to be a good event
