Great minds think alike Hoony.......I just this moment finished glazing my Ham (1/3 Orange Marmalade, 1/3 Maple Syrup, 1/3 Cointreau plus 2 heaped teaspoons of Dijon mustard) over a few soothing OP rum toddys. Earlier I made the turkey stuffing (1 cup crushed pistacio nuts, 1 cup bread crumbs, a bit of fresh coriander and 3 eggs and packed it into the sucker. We've got some boutique beers, great Chilean wines and the obligatory Margaritas ready to go. We've got 20 people tomorrow with prawns, lobster, oysters and ham for lunch and the trad Turkey/Pork/duck etc for dinner and some nice times in between.
We've got an Aboriginal family (6 littlies under 10!) from Wilcannia sharing Christmas with us and it'll be a delight seeing the kids get spoiled for probably the first time in their lives. We've gone a little overboard to make sure these kids have a Christmas they won't forget. I love Christmas.
Congratulations Billyjackjane.....the best present of them all.
