Hi Susan
I’m working right up to Xmas eve. I’m going to my brothers on Xmas day for
lunch with some of the family. No idea what’s on the menu (9/10 times it Wagyu
on the BBQ) but we’re taking Darcys’ favourite dessert t- Jelly slice. This is
basically a layer each of biscuit base, set condensed milk, and yellow jelly
extra firm. And I’ll take some homegrown wine 2020 vintage (about the only good
thing to come out of 2020..).
Other than that, we’re mostly at home dodging the tourists for the annual
ham-a-thon….
Cheers
Steve

Hi Vicki,
Blue Mountains! That is so nice.
We stayed there for a couple of nights when we were last in Sydney (for a
wedding about ten years ago?) and
really enjoyed the cool air and lovely treks and the scenic drive down - recall
stopping at an orchard selling
the freshest peaches I had ever eaten!
Okay, that is really not hard, growing up we only ever got to eat canned
peaches in heavy syrup.
Christmas Eve will be Meatfest at my sister's home with Beef Wellington,
Moussaka and Bacon Wrapped Turkey Breast.
Christmas Day Tea-Ner will be mainly Seafood at my home with Gravlax and
blinis, scallops in butter and garlic sauce,
and some roasted miso cod. I have a stash of baby beets - red, white and
golden (gifted by a member of film crew of
Masterchef in Singapore - their leftovers after filming) so that will be
roasted for a salad. All good with bubbles!!
Will probably buy a small ham too, and my brother says he will be contributing
Chinese style Roast Pork Belly with
yummy crackling so there will be some non-seafood.
We are restricted to a maximum of 5 guests to our homes this Christmas (it goes
up to 8 pax from 28 December),
so I need to ensure that I do not over cater and end up with leftovers till the
new year - never have I succeeded
on this front, but I can keep trying right?
What are the others doing (foodwise) this Christmas?

Christmas… we’ve just decided half an hour ago there will be pancakes for
breakfast. 🙂
Then a picnic lunch, probably just a simple chicken salad or something,
somewhere on the drive to the Blue Mountains. (Where we are at lunch time
depends what time we leave.)
Then today I saw this recipe:
https://www.aldi.com.au/en/groceries/recipes/main-meals-recipes/orange-cranberry-roast-chicken-recipe/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.aldi.com.au/en/groceries/recipes/main-meals-recipes/orange-cranberry-roast-chicken-recipe/__;!!Nd8K6TfUt9jcQpcU_mCx!-tR7G08_ohqnZfMpKaocI5roPN8zkEPqzDlh1J4TQn6jGd3T9aIHsODE6iz7mxFGYV0Fj9MT$>
And now I’m thinking, well if I prepare veg and whatever before we leave, I
could plonk that in the oven and we could have it for dinner…
Not sure I will though. I need to be realistic about how willing I will be to
cook a big meal after a longish day!
What are your plans?
Vicki. :-)

Hi Susan,
I never need to worry about yards because I don’t cook with them. 😂
Also, a pound is around 450 g so whenever I see it (usually in relation to the
protein in the dish) I just round up to 500 g.
Vicki. :-)

Hi Kelly,
If it helps - a metre is about 39 inches - which is a yard plus 10%.
(the 10% makes it much faster for quick calculations).
An ounce is slightly less than 30g, and I use a multiplier of 30
for quick conversions when using American recipes.
And for liquids, 1 litre is slightly more than 2 pints, or slightly more than 4
cups?
But I can imagine that ambient temperature would be difficult to convert in
your mind
after more than 50 years of memory of what 50F is.
