Christmas 2020
-
Was supposed to spending Xmas in Queensland, lunch with my Mum and evening with some Chinese-Malay-Aus Catholics, so lots of good Malay-Chinese but with some religion shoved in there.
Now that is canned having an orphans Xmas with a Palestinian, an Indian, an American, a Jordanian and a Belarusian with everyone bringing a food from their area. So should be fun with good food.
I'm going to make a Pavlova because we're in the city and there's nowhere to dig a pit for the hangi.

That sounds like an awesome Christmas idea.

Yeah, it should be fun, we'll have a few beers and play some cards/board games, then watch Tenet to see if it makes more sense drunk.
Hopefully the Palestinian and Jordanian don't both just bring hummus and bread.

Hopefully the Palestinian and Jordanian aren't both thinking "hope the Kiwi doesn't do Pavlova - it's just meringue and whipped cream FFS. Yeah and isn't it dinki di Aussie anyway?"

We're already doing a roast chicken as the "main" - plus I live in inner city Sydney, like I can afford lamb after paying my accomodation costs.

and Crackle! Don't forge the scrummy crackle?
I just found out this afternoon I am now cooking Christmas dinner and true-love doesn't like pork but her mum and step dad doo, so emergency call to butcher to roll one for rotisserie (Will post pics @mariner4life ) and will do beef ribs for her!

@dogmeat if we ever manage a fern get together it has to have a BBQ challenge element to it. There are some talented meat wranglers around here.

Imagine the pressure!!!
I'll bring the cheese'n'crackers!

@voodoo It would be most compelling viewing. Reckon we've got a range from drunken masters to the stone cold Heston-type protein scientists - at least one meltdown or your money back ha ha. Wielding an array of BBQ weaponry, meat probes, and apps it would be epic!! Throw in a bread baking challenge and I think that's the event fully catered for

@Paekakboyz you missed brewing!

anyway, back to Christmas. Kicking off with one set of parents.
Present opening and coffee, followed by kicking off with one of my dirty secrets - an ice cold Steinlager at the bbq before breakfast.
BBQ breakfast/brunch - croissants, lambs fry, the works, etc. Sensational
THen into the car, and an hour up the road to the other parents, get teh charcoal on and play some croquet and drink some sparkling. Cook up a storm , get on the vino/beers and do a second round of presents. Collapse into bed happy
Should be great fun -

Brewing ( or more particularly bottling ) is a fucken pain in the arse. Potential future Mrs MN5 wasn't much help as she is too short to stir the mash when it's stacked high.
