Ah Christmas Eve. Where shoppers leap for the last sprig of rosemary and fret with traditional pre-Christmas spirit over the misplaced shopping list left forgotten in a supermarket aisle.

Meanwhile, in our little flat, the very spa-ducken Christmas is well on its way.

But first, to get into the spirit of the season, some festive decorations.

And in preparation for the cooking of the great feast the birds are deboned.







And the stuffing prepared.




As you can see I'm taking a bit of an Asian twist using my favourite staple, sticky rice and Chinese sausage.

Tomorrow the cooking and feasting.

Merry Christmas everyone! We'll be posting the final spa-ducken results after the holidays. In the meantime to all a good night.
