A backyard suburban outdoor lunch setting, showing a Xmas lunch.
In the distant background is the view of the Launceston mountains under a blue sky.
In the foreground, a white dinner plate containing baked savoury balls made from wild rice and mushroom stuffing, a slice of nutloaf wrapped in pastry, garlic fried potatoes, roasted carrots and red onion, and steamed broccoli. They have been drizzled with roast gravy and butter. Behind the plate is a large jar of homemade lemonade. A bottle of Coopers Sparkling ale in a soft stubby holder sits to the left of the lemonade.
To the right of the lemonade is a white serving bowl of vegetables with tongs sticking out.
A top down view of a savoury pastry dish which is shaped like an 8 pointed star with twisted pull aparts between the points.
(The recipes described it as a snowflake)
The pull apart bits are filled and seeping with savoury mince, parmesan, and shiny tomato sauce.
It is on a white plate on a wooden table.
A top down view of a sweet pastry pull apart wheel. The 8 spokes of the wheel are thick and twisted, with a line of sweet filling showing through the scrolled pastry.
It sits on a white plate on a wooden table.
A bowl of dessert next to a short glass of whisky.
The dessert is a dollop of vanilla ice cream beside a sweet pasty scroll.
The whisky in the glass is reddish brown.
Next to the glass, just behind the bowl of dessert, is a small bottle with a white label, saying Spring Bay Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky.
Our Xmas lunch in lovely lutruwita.
Homemade meatballs, pastry-wrapped roast, crunchy garlic potatoes and vegetables.
Homemade lemonade.
(The 2 pastry dishes, savoury and sweet, were technically both Xmas Eve but we managed to fit some more in on the day. 😆)
