Prior to Christmas the morale at the hospital seemed to be low with all the doctors leaving; so no better way to up the moods than a party at the house! We had a sit down dinner in the garden. I made an eco-Xmas tree from wood and we lit it (not the tree, the lights on the tree) in the garden. Louis and Eunace made a star for the top(to replace the usual angel) and we( me and the 2 boys) had a 'turning on the Christmas lights' event just prior to the guests' arrival. We had some loud music(Ceri had a music-selection - shuffle -system with all her favourites but I now realize no Afrikaans songs!) I note that the blog photos' dates are all wrong and this is very annoying because Christmas parties are not in March!We had a fire in the garden and Ceri's poached pears in red wine and cinnamon sauce was the taste that really announced Christmas.
Ceri should think about creating a Manguzi recipe book because she has created some true star dishes on a shoe string budget. I really liked the chicken liver pate, bruschetta, bierbrood met eier en kaas op, basil-tamatie sous en lemon drizzle cake.
