Right know we have a christmas menu that we serve on all Christmas Partys (which are really common here). The menu is:

- Chef's classic French onion soup finished with a Gruyere crouton

- Confit of winter game presented as a terrine with herb salad and toasted ciabatta slices

- North Atlantic prawns and crayfish tails bound in a brandy Scented Marie rose sauce set on a nest of crisp lettuce

- Traditional roast breast of Brittish turkey with dark leg meat, orange and red onion stuffing served with a cranberry and port jus

- Roasted open field mushroom stuffed with a mature cheddar cheese and spring onion Farci (Veg)

- Fillet of Sea Bass topped with white wine and lemon beurre blanc

- Roast rump of lamb set on a rich red current sauce

- Home made Christmaspudding topped with a rich brandy cream sauce

- Double Belgian chocolate tart with a soft berry compote

- Cosener's own individual apple crumble flavoured with festive spice and served with custard

That's it. This meny I now can do backwards and with closed eyes after all this christmas partys!

Me and Erika has also helpt out in the restaurant as waitresses. It was a lot fun to make some change in our litte everyday world and to smile to the guests, instead of the potatoes as usual! That was of course on our sparetime and we even got some money.. not much thou!

At the 13th of december, me and Erika wanted som Swedish Lucia-feeling so we made "Pepparkakor" (Gingerbread) and served hot Glögg (a swedish mold wine)! Erika's mother had brought us an advent candlestick, a little Lucia, tinsel, the glögg and the dough for the gingerbreads. The Pepparkakor was really appreciated by the staff and they are still asking for more!

More pictures are coming later! The internet connection here is so bad so if I even try to upload any more photoes, I will get mad for real.

Cheers!
