Ok - so now you know that we are not traditionalists when it comes to celebrating the festive season. This year in a change of routine TeamSAK hosted lunch for MOS, DOS, WSTar and the Big M. We catch up with Ahubby's family tomorrow on Boxing Day. The menu today was as follows:
Nibbles while presents were exchanged : rice crackers, low fat hommus dip, olives, sundried tomatoes, macadamias and cashew nuts
Main: Assorted platters of carved small oven baked Turkey, fresh BBQ Atlantic salmon fillets marinated with dill and black pepper, BBQ prawns marinated in garlic, olive oil, pepper and parsley, eye fillet. Served with help yourself home made potato salad, crispy noodle salad ( raw bok choy, shallots, toasted pine nuts, noodles with a yummy dressing) and green garden salad with no dressing.
Dessert: choice of very small traditional plum pudding, pavlova topped with raspberries, blueberries and strawberries
Drinks: Illy coffee cappuccino with dessert , water, no sugar lemonade, mineral water, Savignon Blanc with meal.
Sounds a lot but actually it was quite a light day food wise. So light that we adjourned to the local park to play tippity cricket before dessert. For the record the wine was barely touched although I do confess to having 1.5 cm worth in my glass. A special treat given I am drug free at present.
We hope, that if you celebrate Christmas, that your day was wonderful. I am taking a short break from blogging and will be back early January . Take care, cherish each day with your family and friends and drop by periodically to see what TeamSAK are up to. We look forward to checking out your blogs upon our return.

Sounds like a fabulous Christmas to me. Have fun up north. Cheers, M
That meal sounded amazing. Some of my favourites too with the BBQ'd salmon and prawns. Mmm mmm.
Hoping you and your family have a fantastic break and come back relaxed and refreshed. I wish you all the best for the new year and that it only gets better and better from here on. All the best.
Anita.
