the christmas that was.. almost was anyway...

So it was all sunny sunshine this morning.. nice weather...
and we didn't have any feast after the friday one with the inlaws cos we were so stuffed we felt a bit sick the next day... M claimed it to be something wrong with the food... me i have no idea.... but well...at least we have a very good reason to eat nothing much but chocolates and little of anything else... i did cook Kimchi soup for us... so we did have something proper... and it was made of homemade kimchi btw.. in case u think i am a very horrible hausfrau... housewife in german...

we are gonna finish the 3rd batch of kimchi i made in winter but then again since we going to Msia in jan it really doesn't matter and i don't see any chinese cabbage in the market and unwilling to use any other ingredients to substitute... so anyway back to the topic of feasting... M's parents did brought with them a nice chunk of smoked salmon... i think its the belly part cos otherwise i dunno where else in the fish u find nice fat... we had the with warm toast, slathered with butter, then salmon slices, onions, capers, rosa pepper, meerreettich (i'd call it european's answer to wasabi) and some pepper... each of us had half a dozen of those lovely toasts and i find myself really too full :p

i wish i wasn't so full cos we still have some Eiercognac (egg-cream-cognac mixture), gift from a friend... it smells nice n alcoholic... i really can't drink much again cos still breastfeeding wth... so M would get the better of it... tsk tsk... must wait for next year... well... i can still have my share of the marzipan chocolate we still have..


now now.. for dinner i'm just gonna be lazy with a pair of sausage, salad and that leftover panna cotta from friday... and maybe some poached pears or watever home canned items in the fridge... Christmas doesn't have to mean a lot of work... its the day u make time for loved ones... and not forget a small gift for appreciation wth haha.. . speaking of which... our theme for this year is pajama... ya.. we even have a theme so that we don't have to scratch our heads till hair start falling to figure out what to buy for each other... its not fair cos M obviously have a much better chance of buying me something prettier... this i realise as i scout around the men's dept of globus... tsk ts... so failed... men pajamas are boring....


while women have silky ones, lacy ones, transparent, semitransparent and wth else... men only have comfy ones really... i'll think of a better theme next year... will will will....
