December was the busiest month for me…it still is. I am just glad that December 25th & 26th { first Christmas day and second Christmas day respectively} are both over, whew! Because those two days were just killers. Though I really really enjoy preparing special dishes especially on Christmas (normally only the 25th) but was also invited this year to cook on the 26th…which was fine by me, glad to do it… it’s just that my body after the 2 nights almost gave up because I was beat and even asked myself why am I doing this to myself?
Well, answer is I don’t like ordering cooked meals for Christmas dinner! I like surprising my love ones with something new and never tasted before menu. But I’ll get to that on another post.
All I really wanted to say was that I enjoyed being a kid again. For a moment it was like I was back during those years when I could hardly wait for Santa’s surprise under the tree. Yes until now I enjoy opening gifts (who doesn’t?) and this year I got what I wished for from my husband (speakers for my room) and from my dear friend Stel (who is one of my inspirations when it comes to cooking) I got this fantastic cookbook “Your Place or Mine?”by Jean-Christophe Novelli, one of London’s celebrated Michelin starred chef .
Dear Stel, I was opening your gift on these pictures and I love it!! Thank you so much!!
how about you, did you enjoyed opening your gifts too?
