Tonight, Marissa and her family welcomed me to their home to share in their family's Christmas Eve dinner.
Having had to work during the day, I had no time to prepare anything to bring so instead I managed to get a hold of a couple of decent sized cooked lobsters. Teresa worked her culinary magic and whipped up a delicious dressing for them, using lemon, parsley, chilli, garlic and olive oil. I was helping with preparing the lobster and donned one of Mrs Pelle's aprons for the rest of the night.
Marinating the lobsterWe feasted on:
(I absolutely loved these!!!)
Italian Baked Fish (Baklava?)
Greek Salad
Baby Octopus
Cooked Prawns
Marinated Lobster
Choy's Satays & Chicken Wings
After dinner, although not being religious, I attended midnight mass with Marissa, Teresa and Mr Pelle to participate in the spirit of Christmas and partake in the Christmas carols. Afterwards, we had a few nightcaps back at home - Teresa's homemade Lemon Cello - before I sought a taxi to get me home to bed at about 4am.
