New Years Eve 2015

This year, like last, we spent it at home, nothing extravagant, very casual.

Meeting the Liu's Part 2

On Sunday 27 December, we were invited to attend a bbq at the Liu's place. We bought along a salad, 2 roast ducks.

 All hands on deck to skewer the lamb kebabs

 Sophia's brother, David got the barbie started and spent the day cooking the skewers

Sophia's mum and grandmother had prepared so much food, we would have been happy with just the skewers.

Boxing Day

Saturday 26 Dec 2015

Our turn to play host, but not many people showing up at least for lunch. Apparently Uncle David was not in the mood and had an argument with A. Cath. Ken and Angel had decided to go shopping instead and would come later for dinner and Bindy sent her apologies for lunch but also joined us for dinner. At least we had the family, Joanna and for dinner, Kenny Tsui also joined us.

So the spread I put on for lunch was a lot better than the one for dinner.

 Prawn, mango and rocket salad

 Meat platter

 Lily made her devilled eggs

 A tossed salad

 Grilled salmon and potato salad. A. Cath provided a dish of cold meats with egg as well.

Evan had his camera equipment so Lily got her family together for a photo shoot - one for the Christmas cards next year. Before they all disappeared.

For dinner, Janet made her roast duck, we had roasted vegetables, left over salads, stick rice stuffing with lettuce cups.

 Unfortunately no group photo's for the Seeto's.

Christmas Day with the Chan's and the Seeto's

Friday 25 December

This Christmas, Frank and Jane played host, so we joined them for lunch. Enjoyed the huge spread that was put on for lunch, before watching them open their Kris Kringles.

Then Janet, Fiona, Joanna and I headed off to the Seeto's for dinner. There was oysters, roast turkey, fried wontons, roasted vegies.
