Christmas! Time to be Merry! Do you always wonder if you should spend time whipping up a meal? or should you just cater/buy from out? There are tons of shops offering Christmas meals delievery. Or maybe a mixture? Some buy in items and some home cooked? Busy working mums are usually tired by the end of the work week and imagine having to whip up a meal over the weekend for a group. Its not the actualy frying, baking, cooking. It the pre-preparations inclusive of grocery/market trips, the cutting and slicing, the washing, the marinating AND ALSO the after cooking work. Including the utensils washing, drying, kitchen washing, oven clean ups... uuurrgghhhss.. the thoughts of the pre and after work kind of put me off 50% though I really like to cook! Thank god, my helper came last Wed! yippie... she is a good help.
I had my 1st pre-christmas party at my place this year with couple of good old friends. The menu kind of changed a little but its still 80% kept according to plans. I cooked the bee hoon an hour before dinner time. Added in sausages, cabbage, eggs, chicken slices, fishcakes. The end product is really yummy!
