christmas eve dinner

What a wonderful Christmas I’m having! A few months ago Julie & Steve informed me that they had just made plans to come to Sevilla for Christmas, which gave me something to look forward to. We’ve already been out and about this week, and then I planned this mahoosive Christmas Eve dinner, which turned out fabulous (if I say so myself!).
Here is a close up (for Sara) of THOSE confit potatoes from Quality Chop House in London. I have to say they didn’t quite come out the same, but they were pretty damn tasty nevertheless. And I even got some advice from chef Shaun Searly on Twitter, which I thought was very sweet of him.
After dinner I got out the enchanting Robert Sabuda pop up Christmas books sent to me by Jane many years ago and we all sat, well, enchanted, as we read them together. It was such a lovely evening, lots of fab food, wine and chat. Thanks for coming guys! xx

So the new oven arrived today! It’s a bit of a wonky fit and is a pretty basic model, but hey, it has more than one temperature and the grill works. So definitely a step up from the old one. Of course the landlady refused to pay for it, saying her usual “you can take it with you when you go!”. But still worth it, I think, especially after agreeing with a new rent deal until February 2018. It also means I’ll be able to properly cook a kick-ass Christmas Eve dinner. Stay tuned…

Where does the time go? My big gorgeous gormless galoot is “suddenly” 7 years old. Here are a couple of pics I took this past week (keeping Deb happy). Hard to believe he was the runt of the litter…
