Thinking about what I can make to the big fam dinner
Last year I brought fairy bread, it was a giant hit and everyone had some.
Unlike a previous time when I made focaccia with designs made of herb leaves and flowers made with vegie slices , that was only half eaten.
I'm on afters this year. Pudding and [this creation](Black Forest Lamington Wreath Recipe | Coles https://share.google/09f6k0UCQQDFG659T) are on my list.
I thought this recipe looked cute.

I'm on befores. Still deciding b/w gyoza or springers or both. Pretty much same filling.
Also on the cards is fried zucchini chips. Wonder if double frying will keep them cronchy.
I'm doing the fairy bread, ๐ They get what they want
also two kinds of shortbread, half a panettone, and 1.5 kgs of my spicy burgers for the bbq ( which were a hit last year )
Nibbles, mains or sweets? Iโm on sweets this year and am bringing ginger bread biscuits and rum balls.
I like little meringues with whipped cream ?
Trifle? I love trifle and we always had it at Xmas when I was a kid. Iโm the only one who eats it now, so Iโll only make it for guests (and for the breakfast leftovers)
I love trifle too, I think I will make that for when friends come over ๐ I might get some grand marnier and make an orange themed trifle ๐
