It’s the last Monday meal ideas for the year so I thought I would hit you up with just about every kind of possibility for Christmas cooking this week. I’m still not sure what I am going to trot out on Friday…I have a desire to chuck out all the traditions and go with a simple ocean trout and salad option. Controversial I know. Grandma has done the pudd so there will be an element of tradition there, and of course ham on toast will feature most days this week for breakfast so I’m ready to go out on limb.
Here’s where I throw ALL of the things at you anyway!

Happy cooking to you all…may your pavs rise, your pork crackle, your prawns peel well and you enjoy every little morsel. I’ve got 8 friends over for dinner tonight for a girls night so I’ve got a chance to practice that entertaining!
OMG! … soo many options I get the overwhelm!
all I have to do is prepare and present dessert! … but you know stunning!
toss up pav or sue’s golden gaytime trifle via matt moran!
last year I did deconstructed chocolate goodies on a plate and they were raving taking photos saying this in a restaurant would cost a fortune! … ok I can paint a picture!

I actually started reading this thinking that it might just be your Christmas menu, but maybe you could get through all that over Christmas and Boxing Day 😉
Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family.
Ha! Imagine getting through all that!
