Christmas fare

A feast of red and purple to liven up an otherwise dull and grey day today. With the record breaking drought and much concern about climate change, I wish it would really rain - not the half-hearted efforts we've seen lately.

The round shaped packages wrapped in cloth are traditional plum puddings. Even though a northern hemisphere hot Christmas feast doesn't make too much sense in the heat of an Australian Christmas, and we usually stick to cold meats and salads, I am a sucker for plum pud. With custard. A true culinary highlight care of the Brits!

  2. Mmmm...plum pudding. That is a really nice display, too. One doesn't usually see the combination of red and purple for Christmas.

  4. Il est vrai que noël sous la neige c'est plus festif. j'ais jamais vecu un noël sous l'été indien, cela doit etre bizzare.


    It is true that Christmas under snow it is more festive. I board ever lived Christmas under the Indian summer, that must be bizzare.
