Christmas in July, Sydney (5 July 2014)

Winter feasting with friends

Thanks to my friends Chris and Fintan for putting on a yummy Christmas in July aka #FinChrisMas2014 with roast chicken, lamb and all the trimmings. Fintan even made some Irish Soda Bread which was very impressive. Complete with cute Christmas decorations and a punch fountain with free flowing 'Dog on the Beach' dogtail cocktail quickly put everyone in the festive spirit. I scored myself a cheese container in the Kris Kringle and took a few bauble selfies as you do. Next year I think it might be my turn to host so if you have any great festive recipes to share please let me know. I'm thinking a turducken might be the go?

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

PROS: Festive cheer to keep you warm in the colder weather

CONS: We don't get snow in Sydney

MUST TRY: Dog on the Beach dogtail

VERDICT: Lots of fun with good friends, yummy food and wicked drinks is always a good way to forget about the Winter chills
