Merry Merry

I had a merry merry Christmas with my lovely friends surrounded. I have some snacks for them during this late night party (yes, our party started at 9pm!).

To make the party a little special, I have used my newly bought Martha Stewart paper punch to make these cute green and blue name tags on their wine glasses.

{Updated} Christmas eve dinner

Hello, Merry Christmas!

I am blessed to have my 2nd Christmas with my husband. This is our Christmas eve dinner. I shall share the recipe later.

Afterall, enjoy a happy day!

Hi I am back and here is the recipe.

1) 將買回來大概8 吋長的豬肋骨抹乾, 用餐叉刺有膜/脂肪的部分

2) 預備醃料: 切碎一個檸檬的皮(只是黃色的部分)﹑留皮略切3個紅蔥頭和2瓣蒜頭

3) 為了方便, 將肉放入保鮮袋, 加入醃料及少許塩﹑胡椒炒﹑檻欖油﹑mixed herbs,﹑basil leaves, paprika和酒，大概醃至少20分鐘

4) 開大火加少許檻欖油，將袋中醃料的紅蔥頭和蒜頭下鍋﹑爆香, 再下肉煎至兩面金黃

5) 加入2片檸檬，4湯匙黃糖，再澆酒, 酒差不多燒乾可加入1.5碗雞湯, 閂蓋用小火煮1.5小時至肉汁漸濃, 再調味，熄火讓肉在鍋中再燜45分鐘，待肉汁收回肋骨肉

6) 吃時可用中火將肉汁煮沸淋上肋骨。

Preparation

I have mustered my courage to host a Christmas party this year. Lots of preparation works have to be done. Today

1) Guest list is kinda confirmed.
2) House is vacuumed and cleaned.
3) Our Christmas wreath is now hanging at our door.

I enjoy the decoration part a lot. While I tied the wreath at my door, kids just stepped by, watched, talked and laughed. We were both excited!

I got so many inspirations from Martha, in particular, eco-friendly way to celebrate Christmas. I have used the apple green ribbon, which I saved it from the bouquet during our anniversary, for our wreath.

Btw, this is the same wreath we used last year. I have unplugged those glittered red balls and swtiched to green and gold.

It is a hugh news for me.

To take Petite home, please go to my store.

Christmas is coming!

Christmas is my favourite time of the year. It is merry merry all around. Not yet mention the glittering decorations! This is my 2nd year of Christmas as a Mrs. I am figuring if I should host a little party at home.
