belated merry christmas and happy new year!
i have been so incredibly lazy, it is terrible. every time i come on here i think about all of the lovely things that i want to share but i seem to find a million things to distract me from it... my christmas was quiet but lovely, spending time with family and catching up with friends. unfortunately i had to work so my christmas was celebrated in between shifts at the hospital but it was very quiet, and i had a few good chats with some very interesting patients and their relatives. we had christmas with the extended family on christmas eve, and i made delicious sweet potato gnocci with burnt butter and sage sauce, and a christmas croquembouche (which ended up more like a profiterol stack but was delicious all the same). i will put up some photos and recipes when i have more time.
post christmas was my birthday, which was lovely. i managed to score the day off work, and had a superhero party with a lovely bunch of people who came to celebrate with me. unfortunately it started pouring with rain, so the party had to be moved in doors (where there was much less crime to be fought). we ended up playing guitar hero, eating cake before dinner, drinking lots of wine and playing a game similar to celebrity heads under the instruction of jedi-jeremy. it was a fantastic evening!
new years eve was an interesting evening, it started off wonderfully, drinks and bruschetta at my friend's house on a hill overlooking the ocean. played a little wii, had some delicious chocolate brownies. then some people wanted to go into town and i was voted driver (i had only had 1 drink as i had to drive home and get ready to work new years day). the night eventuated in us trying to go to the gay bar (because it was lady gaga night, and how better to celebrate the new year than with some fantastic dance moves!) but we couldn't find a park so ended up at the beach to watch the fireworks. then my friend threw up in my car and i spent the first few hours of the new year cleaning out my car and disinfecting everything. that part wasn't so fun, so i have decided that this year i will not be designated driver anymore!
well i had best be off, keep posted for photos and delicious recipes!!
much love,
