Christmas Parties 2011

Had the most amazing Christmas this year!

Finally had Christmas time off :D

The most superb and delicious Christmas meals 2 days in a row.
By the way, I am not counting the Christmas lunch I had in the hospital as well, because it was digusting hospital food, therefore it doesn't count. Although not all hospitals have disgusting food. Inverness and Dumfries hospital had fairly decent food :)



Christmas Eve Party at Martin's

Two German guys in the kitchen! 

 I think their favourite word is Scheiße! :P

See the bread on the far right, it's home made and baked by Felix the cat

Delicious spread..

German Christmas dinner

The greyish matter covered with brown sauce at the bottom of the plate which looks like potato mash actually consists of potato mixed with flour boiled in water. I think it didn't quite turned out as they expected it to. But still tasted delicious with the brown gravy. By the way, brown gravy was made by boiling goose/duck innards till it melted.

Also I'm not sure why brussel sprouts is always included in every Christmas dinner. They're not that tasty. I think perhaps it reseambles mini cabbages.

Lovely, delicious goose

ooooh Angry German with knife!! scaryyy

Felix the cat posing with the knife. He's our master chef, cooking almost all the food.

Too much eating and drinking the whole night.
Martin baked a coffee walnut cake. Wow.
Had superb breakfast the next morning, with goat's cheese,bread etc.
Had a slightly awkward morning as well, someone was opening their presents and half the presents consisted of lingerie. hahahhahaha
I thought they were either gonna end up having coitus in the living room or the elevator.

Mini-rant- some people seemed not to have been taught basic manners. If you finish eating, it would be good to clean up your dirty dishes or put them in the sink even if you don't want to wash them, not just leave them lying around. Really annoyed!

One more thing, heard a crazy story from a friend. How something innocent could have been twisted into an accusation with potential devasting consequences. Guess we all have to watch our backs or just stay away. Wonder who the next victim is gonna be? Although I can already guess...lol

 Christmas Day!!

I got invited over to Bearsden to Marieanne's parents house for Christmas dinner :)
I couldn't fit into the MNG dress I bought last week. So I had to change my dress last minute.
