After having our own free range chooks for a while a few years ago and enjoying the gorgeous bright yolks, we now know to stick with free range eggs. They cost a little more, but for us it is well worth it. Thanks Melissa.

I know you and Jac eat eggs quite often and you're right about the "anemic" yellow. Yours just look so vibrant. I can't believe you're making me want scrambled eggs!

On our home network, it's known as "babypc". I love it, am using it right now to type this. Mathew, It was indeed juicy. Juji did a great job prepping and baking it. Marco, Thanks for the info re "dressing". I think we'll continue calling it "stuffing" in our family anyway, even when it's not stuffed in the meat. :) I did have a nice break, thank you. Not short enough though. I actually have a lot of work on at the moment, so am glad most people are on holidays so I can get on with things during the "quiet time". Mana, Butterscotch ice cream sounds wonderful! I didn't have any ice cream for Christmas, but on the weekend I had strawberr frozen yoghurt, which was a lovely sweet treat. dea, I reckon the fruit platter looks like a painting! I liked looking at the colours too. It was great having breaky for a change, the only bad things were 1) the early start and 2) having to leave so soon, to go to the next event. Bryan, Oh yes, there was a lot of freshly cracked pepper added all around the table. Apart from Jac, I'd say my next most admired and trusted home cook is my sister Juji. And Jac only wins because I live with her and she gets to feed me more often. LOL. nalinee, Thank you, we did have a lovely Christmas. 2009 should be an interesting year. Heh, I probably should go to the gym too, seeing as I actually ate the food! LOL Kiran, We normally do dinner or lunch, so this was very nice for a change. I had to be quite restrained with how much I actually did eat, as I didn't want to spoil my lunch. Next time I must convince my family and Jac's family to celebrate on separate days (one Christmas, one Boxing Day! Then I will be able to totally pig out at both meals!) Sue,

It looked amazing! And your eggs looked perfect - there is somthing to be said for slow cooked food... they were just missing the fresh cracked pepper (im sure you added it on your plate) Merry Christmas TFP and Jac I can’t believe Juji prepared that ham!

I just like the colours of all the fruit! And I'm imagining how juicy and sweet they are, especially since I like pretty much everything on the platter save for the kiwi fruits. And what a Christmas brekkie spread you guys had. Yum, Christmas ham and scrambled eggs. :) I love the first photo of the fruit platter. I just like the colours of all the fruit!

The little mountain of pancakes looks absolutely delicious, I'd be anxious to cover them with maple syrup too! And of course...the eggs never fail to impress with their soft, creamy goodness. I love Christmas breakfasts, it's the one time of year I indulge and eat anything and everything I want when I get up. Haha this year I had butterscotch ice cream, cheezies and scrambled eggs!

Oh and here's a little extra information for you. Stuffing that isn't "stuffed" into meat/poultry/fish is known as "dressing" in the States. Hope you had a pleasant holiday TFP!
