Early Xmas celebration

We celebrated Christmas with our friends early this year on 23 Dec.


Made Sangria for the 1st time and it was a hot fav!
Everyone said its a great drink and asked for the recipe... :)

For those who are interested:
- 1 btl of red wine
- 2 Thai Green Lemon (seedless)
- 5 Limes
- 1 Orange
- strawberries (quartered)
- ice cream soda or 7-up

I cut the citrus fruits to small wedges and put them in the red wine.
Then let it soak overnight.

Before serving, I throw in some strawberries, ice and mixed in ice cream soda with the wine.
stir and serve!
The next time I make this, I'll throw in some mint leaves. ;)

On the menu we had:
- spaghetti,
- turkey roll
- ribs
- pork knuckle
- salad
- chicken mushroom soup
- grilled chicken drumsticks
- buttered sweet corn

Had so much left over that we made our friends pack some home.

Mom said depending on how tired she is, if she's up to it - she wanted to make Bangers n Mash either today (Xmas eve) or tomorrow (Xmas day).

Hi, Merry Christmas. I have been following your blog when I know that we are same in few things. Both of us were born in 1978 and have 2 kids born in 2003 and 2008. The huge difference is I have 2 boys and you have 2 gals. Btw, I know your blog from m4m, my nick is Der_mom.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
