Christmas Calories
X’mas & New Years is the time for retrospection.Usually resolutions that I break massively outnumber the ones that survive & 2011 was no different.
Case in point : 2 resolutions which were pretty much at logger heads with each other the entire year .
One - Whatever it may be I’m going to be(or at least pretend to be ) happy –so bring on the friends, the wine , the fun and good food.
Two - Lose extra pounds to fit into the LBD I chanced upon last year.
And I don't have to tell you guys that which one survived :-)
Now that the damage was done, I decided to welcome this long Xmas weekend with some connoisseurs of food at my place . Was prepared to spend a tense weekend ,where I knew every bit of my dish was to be scrutinised for extra spice, over/under cooking, size of the cut dry fruits or the presentation of each dish on the table. However I think I played smart and placed the ball firmly in their court by making them the mentors.The experience was quite rewarding for we produced this
Chocolate cake, Custard I
Buuurrrp.... It was an X'mas well spent , the LBD can wait.
But what I did not eat this entire year were my nails :-).So that's one resolution still standing
