Crazy or Angel...

This ham was the star of the show at our recent Friends of Numinbah Valley Xmas Party.
My glaze included fresh orange juice, brown sugar, mustard and the big secret!
My home-made orange & cumquat marmalade - Yummo!


Also made a huge Vegetarian Lasagne

Roasted Beetroot in dressing

Pan seared & roasted Mini Lamb Leg served with Roasted Capsicum Relish
on a bed of green lettuce with my tangy vinaigrette

What a great day -
happy, laughing faces, wonderful food, playing Bocce on the freshly mown grass.

People surrounded the dessert table ready and waiting to dive in - so -
 unfortunately no pics of  my

Home-made Mango Cheesecake

Rum 'n Raisin Mousse with freshly whipped cream & grated chocolate

Choc-Marble Sponge Cake brushed with Tia Maria Liqueur

Christmas Cake

Date & Walnut Loaf.







Let's not forget the MOT(Men Out There) 
High Tea at my friend Erica's House. 

What a brilliant day! Our councillor attended, Erica provided the magnificent venue 
and yours truly cooked absolutely everything -from scratch - holey moley!

All my vintage china - happy to be used. 







STAR OF THE HIGH TEA TABLE

I was just too busy to get around and take photos of everything. Sigh..
Someone called me 'crazy'
Another called me 'angel'. 


Happy Singing in the Hills.

WHAT A WEEK OF
TWO FUNCTIONS, 
PREPARATION, 
TRANSPORTATION,
 PLANNING,
 COOKING,
 SETTING UP 
AND HOSTING
 - took it out of me, but I did it!

Just in case you're wondering - I did it all for free. 
And everyone felt the love. 
Can't ask for anymore than that. 
The End.
