happy cmas!!

 billthedog and i wish you all a very happy cmas and favvoloso 2011 - thanks for reading textileseahorse - i promise there will be some textile related posts coming up.

and now to write up the order of battle for today's cmas dinner cooking marathon. the menu reads thusly:

• mezze type things (pickled octopus, taramasalata, tzatziki, babaganoush, olives, hommous)
• chippery things for the kidlets
• slow roasted lamb with pomegranate seeds, lemon and mint
• crash-hot potatoes
• pilaf with apricot, pine nuts and dill
• roasted beetroot with feta, tomatoes and mint
• spinach with grapefruit and avocado
• panettone bread and butter pudding
• green and red jelly with chocolate frogs
• black sesame ice cream

at least i have made the jelly.... backson with photographic proof that you can cook cmas dinner with the top of your thumb sliced off
