My Christmas Dinner

I will keep this short and sweet...
25th December 2005. My first traditional Christmas dinner...

Nazarena Washburn had invited us (my PM and myself) to her house for dinner. She came to pick us up at abt 2 in the afternoon.. It was a long ride to her house.. Her house was beautiful. Awesome.. It was somewhat like my dream house.. The house was on a hill.. Very few houses around her's.. The house was huge... It had a nice cute pool outside.. They had setup a nice table next to the pool.. with comfortable chairs around it..

The view from her house was breathtaking.. Once we settled in her place, we went down with her to pluck oranges and tangerines from her orchard... She had a nice small orchad of oranges... nice bright orange trees...

Once back, her mom had prepared nice Indian pakodas for us.. It was good.. Her mom is actually a muslim having her roots in Kashmir. However, she was brought up in Guyana.. Naz was born and brought up in England... Naz's father was a Hindu... Then Naz married an American and settled in the US..

Then we had a nice dinner with drinks.. Dinner had the traditional turkey, meat, salads, puddings, mashed potatoes.. etc..etc...

Next, we had a round of poker.. America's favorite card game... We are now experts in the game.. and ready to explore Las Vegas.. :-))

Nothing more.. will write more later..
