    Xmas traditions around the world

    I would have lechon anytime of the day not carp
    The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart

    I do love lechon. But it has to be top quality, seasoned and cooked to perfection.

    I've sampled far too many that I just don't eat recently.

    We had 2 last night (must have had about 25 relatives descend). Wish I hadn't wasted the money to be honest, Far too fatty and the skin wasn't anywhere near as crispy as it should have been.

    It takes quite a bit time to discover a decent supplier.
    Most are rubbish IMHO

    Tonight another half dozen King Crab legs. These ones are huge.
    Also Tuna sashimi with hot green horseradish and clam soup

    Nice rice and a couple of bottles champers.

    We may not feel like eating much but we still love the best things in life.
    Happy days indeed.

    Tomorrow off to Toril fish port to find some fresh Malasugui for special Kinilaw

    9pm in ten minutes we will be sitting down to a lovely Turkey Christmas Dinner, I prepared everything this morning and Maritess and I cooked the veg and Yorkshire pudding plus gravy as soon as we arrived home from her work, the turkey was still in the oven when I went to collect her!
