We spent a very happy Christmas day with Maggie and James at the Parkers, Nick followed it up with boxing day cricket which if you follow the Ashes at all you will understand why he had such a huge grin on his face when he finally landed back in NSW that night.
The week between that and New Year was spent in Castlecrag. Lots of gardening and cleaning to get done but it was nice to have the time there.
We had dinner with our neighbours one evening and as well as being such interesting and generous hosts you can be assured of receiving very good food. They are both Russian born and arrived in Australia via China so more often than not the food has the flavours of their life and travels. We had a wonderful evening and I convinced Marina to share this great dish.
She recommends you cook plenty, as Gary’s said, he likes to eat this dish three nights in a row!
Blinchatie Pirojkl - Meat pies made with Pancakes
This was served with a simple salad of cucumbers and herbs. Delicious!
We returned to Orange for New Year and had a really nice night with James and Liz, a couple of their friends from Melbourne and John, Tash and Aerin.
Love Mx
