: : Dropping in for Dinner : :
On 24 Dec 2004, I was literally dropping in for dinner, so to speak. Rather, I was flying in for dinner. My cousin-in-law, Kula, picked me up at the airport with his son and we rush back home to everyone getting things ready.
It was a potluck Christmas dinner with almost everyone contributing something. Well, except me. Flew in from Kuching without any food items. Did bring presents though.
Anyway, instead of a tablecloth, Sina' laid huge banana leaves everywhere. Think this was the leftover leaves from the Nubat Layak. The leaves created a great contrast. As for the candles, they played a duo role in this dinner. Not only do they serve as great decorations but they also act as a fly deterrant. Flies seem to avoid candles so it's pretty common to see one or two more candles lit at food places which is open-air i.e. not enclosed but expose to the outside. Also, in the corner, was a Christmas bunch of roses from my sis and her hubby in the USA.
Will post up the dinner spread over the next few days.
Hi Dad! :) He's doing the honours on the roast ham. And, the electric knife is one useful device when it comes to slicing a huge portion of meat. You know, avoiding muscle aches and all. He was cutting the ham and the turkey as well.
