Sick on Christmas

Well my Christmas was ruined because I somehow caught a stomach bug and/or virus and ended up with diarrhea and vomiting for most of Christmas Day and couldn't eat a thing.
Worst. Christmas. Ever.

Yep! So far here I've had 1x flu, 1x cold and 1x stomach bug. Oh, and constipation. Don't you just love traveling

Most unfortunate.
I'd be cautious about eating out around Christmas time too.

I don't have a Christmas tradition, nor like a traditional Christmas meal, so Hunty, you're not "entirely" alone. I hope you feel better soon
Have a wonderful 2018, everyone!

I haven't had a proper turkey dinner for Christmas since I came to China. So I can imagine how pissed off I'd be if I got the chance and fell ill. Hope you're feeling better by now.

I think I do prefer beef if the meat is soft and cooked well (can't stand chewy meat), but turkey goes down a treat!

I am not huge meat fan. Why not try some vegetarian or seafood dishes for a future Christmas feast?
Here are a few of my creations;
Fusion chunky vegetable soup
Curry rainbow trout with mint and lime
Seafood pasta with seared king scallops

It's a no from me. I like some of those dishes, but definitely not for Christmas! I do like fish but not a big fan of seafood generally speaking, and hot soups tend to mess with my sinuses.
Btw, prawns are the woodlice of the ocean. Did you know that?

Yes, and I like sea slugs too
I am glad that we aren't going to fight over food on the table if we dine together one day

I'll take the vegetable soup, providing it isn't boiling hot. Chuck some Tofu in there if you like

Yes, tofu (various types) is almost always in my vegetarian/ vegan dishes. The fusion vegetable soup was inspired by the Mediterranean vegetable soup, with a few twists including adding tofu
Oh, and I don't serve the vegetable soup super hot because all the greens will turn yellow or brown if over cooked with heat

What is it with you guys and turkey?
Go the Turkey
It's a different kind of meat when cooked well tastes great. Pork is good too.

Seafood is meat. And those seared king scallops look delicious
Not a big soup fan anymore but the best soup I've ever had was Potatoes and Leek.

I didn't.. shh
, and I still don't. I like prawns and I'm not changing that.
