Christmas Dinner

Yesterday was Christmas and hubby decided that we'd cook dinner instead of eating out. I do prefer to stay at home on public holiday because no matter where we go, it's always crowded. At first we thought of going to the mall but when we saw the long queue of cars waiting to get into the car park, we thought it'd be better to spend the afternoon at home taking an afternoon nap or watching tv. Hahaha....

We had a nice time preparing the dinner together. This time, hubby cooked ABC soup, vege and he even tried to cook pork in soy sauce! Very ambitious hor...but it was a nice meal and am very proud of him for his interest to learn :)
