I'm wondering if I can get to Limeslice's & Rouge's place on the same day.
We were going to skip Christmas this year but now we're going to Mum's and she's doing turkey & roast veggies. We're bringing a salad & dessert. I'm thinking coleslaw & a quinoa salad. I have fruit mince and I'm thinking of making an apple & mince pie with a vanilla cream or custard.
Christmas eve we are going to my uncles place and are having the typical Christmas roast (turkey and all that), but on Christmas day we are just having a quiet one at our place, but are still planning a mini feast :)
Our Christmas Day will be a BBQ with the following (can't wait as I don't eat seafood often enough!)

* bakery bread rolls w butter

Choc ripple cake seems to be common. I dont think I've ever had any. Now I'm curious.
What is white christmas?
L&B, choc ripple cake is the bomb!! And so easy to make, just cream and choc ripple bickies, you can add other stuff too, but it's delish!! White christmas is a type of slice with dried fruits, rice bubbles, copha, powdered milk.....I'm not a huge fan, but it's a popular christmas treat, it looks very festive!
This thread is making me hungry.

Not too keen on turkey and dont eat pork much (Ham). So, opted for a croatian/serbian type of meal. Normally we do cabbage rolls, but Im not that good at it, so made the filled capsicum with rice and beef mince in a passata tomato sauce, mash potatoes, oven sweet potato and pumpkin, some chicken schnitzels. Desert was honey biscuits, white xmas and made choc ripple log (first time), hubby loved the log. very easy to make. TBH, I dont like xmas food very much. DH was happy with the european 'fare' as he is south american and loves our food.
