Christmas Dinner

Ernest, a member of the ‘Motley Crew’ invited us to his home for dinner on Christmas Day. Dinner was at half past six but it was ‘open house’ from half past three onwards. Those who were free could drop by earlier.

Most of the invited guests were there by 4pm. For those who were early, there were snacks.

These were the dishes for dinner. There were seven of us, including the host.

A salad

Some cheese. A hard cheese, and a cream Cheese with garlic and chives

A selection of mild chorizo, smoked prosciutto and mild sopressa.

Roast chicken with herbs n butter, potato wedges and onions / honey baked ham. The roast chicken is beside the ham. It is not very obvious in the photo.

Pork chops with cream cheese sauce. The pork chops were hidden in the delicious sauce.

These are what they call ciabatta rolls, if I am not mistaken

And for dessert there were fruits and cheesecake. I forgot to take a picture of the cheesecake. The cake was from a bakery – a very nice burnt cheesecake.

We all had a great time. The scrumptious food prepared by a dear friend, the company of old friends of almost forty years, and the fun and laughter. It was a day we will all cherish.
