Hubby had traditionally been the chef for past Christmas and New Year's eves, and this year was no exception. He decided to revive the grill, which had been standing rather neglected in the balcony, much to my delight! We went supermarket shopping for the ingredients in the afternoon, and it was really nice getting into the mood of the festival, seeing the hustle and bustle of everyone outside.
He started work early at 5.30pm, busy grilling away, and by 6pm, the entire family was sinking our lucky teeth into succulent wagyu beef burgers! This was followed by delectable sticks of satays before we slurped down piping hot mushroom chicken soup and munched on crunchy fresh salad with piquant Italian dressing. I was joking with Hubby that we were eating our dinner in a reverse fashion, starting with the entree and ending with the appetizer! I guess we could not help but be over-enthusiastic with the grilled burgers. Big Bee relished the burger and soup, and chomped everything down in record speed!
After dinner and some quiet downtime, we took a walk around our estate, indulging in a little voyeurism and playing our usual game of spotting Christmas trees amongst our neighbours. It was heartwarming to see most families staying home for a peaceful night. We had a tranquil time sitting down outdoors, indulging in each other's company, and enjoying the steady and gentle night breeze that is evocative of beautiful December evenings. We finally ended off the evening with the Bees playing some sparklers as a mini form of celebration.
Thank you, Hubby, for cooking a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner as usual!
