The Monkey In Me: Christmas 2023

2023 Christmas Peeps

Christmas 2023 was held at Cezanne Crescent because most of the Misa clan members were away!

I was delegated to roast the Turkey and glaze the ham. Lola was in charge of sides n veggies but also made the roast pork. Cecile was to bring her Toblerone cheesecake and pork skewers but came with spring rolls and apple crumble too. All in all we had 23 dishes between the 3 of us and it was indeed a feast even fit for the king!!!

There was so much food left over, some stayed back for dinner and most of them even took doggie bags home with them!

It has been a while since we last hosted a Christmas luncheon for 15 pax but all the hard work of preparation and cooking paid off as everyone went home with a smile on their face and with a very happy belly!
