My dear, dear, dear friend lives in Australia, and I must say that she's a bit of a gourmet. She e-mailed me their traditional Australian Christmas Dinner menu.
Since it tends to be especially hot in the Land Down Under on Christmas, grilling is the usual thing to do:
Christmas Menu:
Starters:
Mediterranean Antipasto:
--Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus and rockmelon
--Feta and sun-dried tomatoes
--Baby chili bocconcini
--Dolmades
--Pepper spears

Main Event:
Mixed Grill of Australian Seafood and Meats
--King Tiger Prawns
--Grilled Octopus

Roasted Pumpkin and Chickpea salad (cold)
Desserts:
Christmas pudding (tropical fruit and macademia) with brandy sauce and
custard

Little thoughts from my mind to yours about living a contemplative life in a far too busy world.
