2009 Christmas Eve Dinner

A real Christmas tree which was so beautifully decorated. I loved its simplicity and the fairy lights just twinkled in the warm dim lighting. This was a tree common in Europe, not the typical tree found in North America, hence the wider space between branches.

It was a quiet Christmas Eve dinner at a very dear friend's place. It had been a few years since I last saw her and another friend and so it was really nice to spend the night chatting away till the wee hours of Christmas Day. It sure was hard to stop 3 girls from chattering non-stop.

Beef goulash - soup to start off the meal. All the food was made by my friend. I would love to stay there just for the fridge. Hahahaha. There were lots of home-cooked goodies in there.

The simple Christmas Eve meal for 3 persons. Way too much food - roast beef, long beans casserole (southern style), asparagus, carrots and the sauces (bernaise and red wine), with olives and stuffed peppers with cheese and mashed potatoes.

My one and only plate for that night. Simply loved the stuffed peppers with cheese. That was store bought. The long beans were yummy too as was the roast beef.

The Christmas chocolate cake from a store. It was not too bad.

Rose champagne which was bubbly yummy. The dinner also kicked off the 10 days of non-stop feasting.
