Xmas & New Year with Family

I been showing too much sorrow recently…my apology!

Here’s something sweet and wonderful I prefer to remember and share. It is these good time with family motivated me to move on and never give up.

I am not going into jokes and stories we share…but more of what we cook and eat.

O yeah…I have a 4.5kg turkey for 2008 Christmas. Got it last minute from Bangsar Grocer – a frozen turkey. It took 8 hours to defroze, 3 hour of marination, another 3 hour of rosting in the oven, and lastly, add-on 2 hour to settle down (get cold). It turn out quite well.

Then, I have my husband anviously waiting to cut the turkey…he’s so cute…and he cut it wrongly!

An add-on…a short story – when I am preparing the turkey, my family claimed that is my 2nd time cooking a turkey. I told them it was my 3rd but they didn’t believe.  Somehow, everyone forgotten about the 2nd turkey I did on 2007. I doesn’t help no matter how I explain and descibe it. Then, I remember this post. I think, they probably mistaken the turkey with a big chicken because it was just a 3.5kg turkey. Anyway, thanks to this blog journal I have. I just log on to my blog and “tadang”!!!! I proved to them that this is my 3rd (yet to be the last) turkey. Hurrey!!!

Anyway…I love it all! Here are some photos for your leisure!

Alright…moving on! I look forward for CNY. I will be flying to KK to my husband hometown, crossing the ocean to Labuan to visit his grandma, then a short trip back to my hometown Melaka, and continue by a week business trip to Germany and UK. Plenty of flying around…pray for my journey mercy yah!

Till then, cheers ^_~
