My First Christmas Dinner

Yesterday I cooked my first ever Christmas dinner - I did it all including our traditional desserts.

I amazed myself as it all came out fantastic and although for the most part I was following the recipes - I did improvise a little here and there.

I have learned a couple of things like make the rice pudding before the bread pudding as it takes almost 4 hours to make.

Leave the pork in the oven for 4 hours and it will cook all the way through.

The rice was perfect - maybe use a little less tomato sauce or sazon so it is a little lighter in color.

But overall it was very good and it felt great to hear Ryan say it was the best pork he had tasted (he ate 4 pieces) and Gerard loved it all!!!
