It’s starting to feel Christmassy here in the office. My colleagues and I have been invited to various Christmas dinners and we agonized over what to bring to those dinners. They were concerned with what to bring as a suitable gift for the host while I was attending a potbless dinner where all invitees were assigned to bring a Western dish cooked for 5-6 people.
Western dish, eh? Well, I could cook up some spaghetti but transporting it to the faraway dinner location doesn’t sound appealing. Actually, being the host makes it easier for food like that to be served. Since I am not the host and since I am a mere dinner guest who needs to travel quite a distance, I had to choose a dish that is compact and easy to cart. A simple no-nonsense and fuss-free dish. A takeaway. My colleagues and I pondered over a Domino’s brochure and I decided to go for the Chicken Lasagna. One colleague settled for a bottle of champagne and the other an apple pie. All takeaways. Nothing self-made.
Now before you start to think that urban girls don’t cook anything these days, let me say that we still do cook, but only when it’s practical and absolutely necessary.
Merry Christmas, everyone!

MF and I went to this new place for lunch today ~ M&M Cafe located at the same block as Focus on the Family and Glad Tidings, Seksyen 13, PJ. Laid my eyes on some cute looking Christmas puddings and bought a couple of them for the pot bless. So I won’t be bringing boring old lasagna after all.
It’s feeling a little TOO Christmassy at my office! I work at a radio station, and listeners keep bringing all sorts of delicious and tempting treats to us. If I give in, it will wreak havoc on my waistline!
Fortunately, my son is getting married January 3rd, and the dress I’m wearing will be too snug if I overindulge. Hope that motivation will keep me going! :)
That sounds like a great motivation to keep in shape, Cindy :) Congratulations on your son’s upcoming wedding!
