Christmas on the Island

This Christmas was our first in our new home. We wanted to make it special, but not to over the top, after all we were still recovering from the move and there are still a couple boxes sitting around, so we kept it simple but stylish. Instead of a huge whole turkey, Mum and I found inspiration in the food network and bought a rolled breast of turkey stuffed with veal. And- we could cook it from frozen so no thawing! I made the famous shmam potatoes, and our balsamic brussel sprouts with steamed carrots. And for dessert plum pudding and (not home made) rum sauce. We had Julie down from up stairs so she joined in with our merriment, and she helped make it a fantastic evening. Happy Christmas to everyone!!
