I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Our little boy got thoroughly spoilt by everyone who sent presents. He even received a cash register to replace the cardboard one I made, which is just as well as it was looking a bit shabby. He has also been enjoying the indoor cubby house built out of the cardboard boxes that our solar panels came in and playing in the sandpit that we made him for Christmas.
For Christmas lunch I made a platter of South Australian prawns, crumbed calamari and fish cakes, ham, and a tropical salad made of mangoes, mint, cherry tomatoes, cheese and avocado. It was delicious and fed the three of us for less than $20. (I'm not sure exactly how much it cost)I forgot to take a photo of it before we ate it. It just goes to show that you can still have a decadent lunch without spending a fortune if you buy local produce (prawns, cherry tomatoes), grow your own produce (mint) and use anything given to you (ham and cheese). The only extravagance was the mangoes and the battered seafood pack I got from the supermarket. I have also made my own fruit mince pies and shortbread biscuits. Needless to say, all I have done is eat!
