Well i got sick didn't i....i ended up with VERTIGO before xmas and had to be taken to the doctors, where i was given a injection u know where o**h!

After that though i spent half a week on crutches so i could balance against them for support, at the moment im not using one, however it did become a natural nuisence, on the other hand though i got to exsperience xmas food here at my parents place.

Stuffing
Trifle - Sponge cake, Fruit salad , Custard , Cream (Whipped) Strawberies for the topping! mmmmmmmmm I had three bowls full xmas day!
Beetroot
Roasted Kumara
Roasted Purple potatoes
Roasted Carrot
Red Jelly and Banana
Kiwi Pavalova with Kiwi Fruit and a coconut and cream topping
Rewana bread Mums famous edition to the household
Salad
Roasted chicken (Plain)
And crumbed and spiced Roasted chicken
Plenty of Chocolates to devour, small enough to hold heaps to add up to a normal bar or few!
Fizzy drink!

Anyhows the next day i left at 8.20am in the morning to head to a town called Ruatoria, that was to head to the unveiling of my grandmothers and grandfathers headstone, always celebrated a yr on from anyone passing

We had food

Potatoe salad
egg salad
Rewana Bread Mums specialty
Butter for the bread
Sausages (Venison filled)
Raw Fish containing coconut cream peppers and spring onions left to soak in raw fish bits chopped in small bitsy tho i dont like it lol!
Schnitzel
and their was also hand made patties via my uncles butchery....
It resulted in a party after all the food was laid out... not to mention Steamed Pudding mmmmmmmm the best....Anyhows in the morning because i was partying from 5pm to 4am in the morning my uncle had made

ABALONE SAUSAGES and i didnt know

So after one bite of them i was seen spitting the remaints of one bite off one with laughs....

And most functions wether be family or not must have porridge with cream, and it must come with thickly buttered toast!

And it seems to taste better when out in the country!

Mosty Maori kiwi celebrations being minor or big usually have food donated by family members to help out.....
Anyways time to sign off so i can get some shut i, am still feeling the aftereffects of the last nights party!
