There was rice with peas, chicken curry, haleem and kheer (rice pudding) on top of the hob, kebabs on the grill and roast chicken in the oven. In the end, we had to dig out the biggest pot in the house and decant the rice into that to give it enough room to cook and fluff up.
We had my mum and sisters around for lunch and uncle's family around for dinner. Hubby invited a freinds family to join us for dinner too and I had to make a second pot of kheer in the afternoon (which took about 3 hours as you have to cook it till it's almost solid - I cheated by adding condensed milk).
I decided to make fairy cakes in the afternoon after all which were all eaten up after dinner.
At some point in between all the cooking I managed to get dressed in the lovely outfit Kooky Little Sister bought for me.
Today is my last day off before I go back to work, so I intend to spend the day doing....nothing!
