Another Christmas, Another Dodgy Selfie

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas from Down Under!!!

RecipeTin Eats Christmas - Nagi and Dozer

Just like last year, it was 2 days before Christmas when I realised I didn’t have a Christmas photo and found myself scrambling to take a last minute picture so I could send out Happy Holiday wishes.

And just like last year, I found myself gripping Dozer in a chokehold, forcing him to look at the camera in an attempt to capture a half decent Christmas-cheery portrait of us. Dozer attempting to flee at every opportunity, me grabbing him by his tail, pulling him back, dragging him into position, scrabbling to put his hat back on as the camera self timer started flashing….

Many, many takes later, the best of the bunch:

2016 Christmas Portrait – Dozer looking seriously unimpressed as I forced him to look at the camera.

2017 Photoshoot – Dozer desperately trying to escape….

….then spying the roast Chook I popped on the edge of the pool by the iPhone in an attempt to bribe him into co-operating….

…then finally, getting a passable shot. Ignoring the expression on Dozer’s face.

Christmas photo – (semi) done.

Now – time for some FUN!

Merry Christmas!

    Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a safe food loving Happy New Year. We are enjoying a white Christmas here in Canada. -14C. I am freezing my buns off. So wish we were partying around the pool tonight. Our family and friends will gather together for indoor fun. Stuff our faces with a months worth of wonderful food in one week. Enjoy seeing our kids and grandchildren open there well looked forward to gifts and I know I spent way to much again this year. We are looking forward to 2018. With some exciting stories and great recipes to enjoy.
