In a massive turns of events, instead of jetting off to a camping site and roughing it for 5 days, my husband and I have decided to host Christmas lunch for the first time.
To give you context on the situation, every Christmas, either my mom, my aunt or uncle host a get together with the family. It’s all about booze, food, music and family. Being a home cook, I;m already dreaming about the menu, decor, drinks and gifts! It’s consuming a lot of time because I place huge pressure on myself to kick ass on the day.
So to start off the menu, I will start with the dessert as I am not a fan of it at all….
I’ve decided on these 3 desserts that are South African classics:
- Malva pudding
- Milk tart
- Peppermint crisp tart.
On top of that I need to make a lot of veggies, meat etc etc etc etc…
It’s making me a little nervous thinking about the menu while typing this but I undertook this challenge and will hope to impress while still keeping the house clean and not stressing myself into a coma!
I’ll have to update you on how it all went.
Wish me luck!
