We normally have these dinners...and although we would not have been offended, had it been in a restaurant, but Dori (Nigella) stated that she really wanted to have these to become a tradition and she did not mind spending 3 days in the kitchen and living room to prepare and have everything ready!
Last year I could not make it, because I was travelling, or preparing for exams...and recently I was not really sure how we really were...but in the end the dinner was really good! Of course not only the food but the whole evening. I was happy that no-one was picking on me, however I think it was because they just found a new target :) but anyhow we had a good time with Christmas music, hats, alcohol, Baileys, nomnom, antlers on our head...and as in the invitation was stated that everybody needed to wear some Christmassy thing, I just took a string of fairy lights with me and put it on me :) They really liked it and me too...so much that I'm even thinking to wear that casually on a normal day :) haha :) maybe not though :)
The food was divine too! Although I don't have everything on the pictures, but we had aplenty! Mini sandwiches, 4 different types - with paté and pomegranates, bresaola and gherkins, brie with cranberry sauce and lastly honey, gorgonzola with poached pears. Then we had octopussy tentacles! :) Yum! and the main course was stuffed cabbage, a typical Hungarian Christmas dish...although I don't really like it, but probably 99% of Hungarians love it! And we had cakes as well by Georgie and more gingerbread! Totally stuffed by the end of the night!
Oh and besides the normal presents...each of us got a really great photoalbum of the past 6 -7 years from one of us! :) Everybody was in love with the photobooks immediately :) Was great looking back at us how we were years ago, what we have done, where we have gone :)

A hetvegen, mint mindig megallithatatlan voltam! Vagyis nagyon elfoglalt, suru programokkal, keresztul kasul utazva Londonon, meg azon tul is! Ide nekem vonat sztrajk...igaz kb ket oramba tartott egy 35 perces ut, de oda ertem, feladatomat teljesitettem :) Egyik terhes baratnomeknel jartam, papas mamas kepet csinalni amig meg egyben vannak :) azutan irany haza, hogy Gyurkaval talalkozzak es egyutt menjunk a Doriek eves karacsonyi vacsorajara a varos tulso felebe.
Nem is tudom hanyadik eve mar, hogy vannak ezek a karacsonyi vacsorak...mondjuk mivel Dori terhes, beszeltuk, hogy nem sertodtunk volna meg ha netalan etteremben lett volna (csak azert, hogy neki ne kelljen kinlodni igy nagy hassal), de aztan elmondta, hogy o azt szeretne ha ez mar tradicio lenne, hogy osszeulunk igy karacsony elott es hogy o nem banja hogy kb 3 napot a konyhaban meg nappaliban kellett toltenie a fozessel, meg diszitessel, mert megerte neki, hogy mi ott voltunk.
Tavaly, iskolai elfoglaltsagok miatt nem tudtam menni es iden is kicsit ketseges volt, mert valahogy nem mindig tudom, hogy most hanyadan is allunk, de nyitottan mentem es szuper este lett belole :) Na es az is jo volt, hogy kivetelesen, nem engem piszkaltak az egesz este folyaman :) Mindenki jol erezte magat vegul, volt minden --> Kaja, pia, karacsonyi zene, karacsonyi kalapok, Baileys (persze ez is pia) :) finomsagok, agancsok a fejunkon....es milyen szuper otletem volt :) Ki lett jelentve, hogy mindenkin kell valami karacsonyinak lennie...es en csak elohuztam a taskambol egy elemes egosort es azt tettem fel! :) Szerintem ennel jobb otlet nem is lehetett volna! :) Sot, mindenkinek tetszett is!
A kaja is isteni volt! Nincs minden etel megorokitve, de rengeteg fele fajta volt! Mini szendvicsek, 4 fele...na de meg milyenek! Majpastetom + granatalma magok, bressaola sonka + uborka, brie sajt + afonya szosszal es vegul gorgonzola sajt + mez + posirozott kortevel. Aztan jott a polip! :) es foetelkent toltott kaposzta volt, amiert en annyira nem rajongok, de a toltelek finom volt :) kaposzta nelkul! Mindemellett mezeskalacs, bejglik es meg egy fekete erdo tora meg valamilyen lakotelepi almas suti is felbukkant, hogy megidezze a magyar multunkat is :) amiket Gyurka sutott. Szoval el tudjatok kepzelni, hogy szinte gurultunk hazaig...
Ezenfelul, volt ajandekozas is, es Barbusika olyan draga volt, hogy a kb az elozo 6-7 ev kepeibol osszevalogatott egy fotoalbumra valot es mindenki azt kapta a baratsagunkrol! Eleg meghato volt es a legszuperebb ajandek! Szuper volt visszanezni, hogy miket csinaltunk, merre jartunk kozosen!
