Christmas Dinner with CF People

Right after the heavy lunch with Goodall family, here I am at Broadgate Park celebrating another Christmas gathering. These are the CF people stuck in UK and has nobody to celebrate with~ but we still manage to make some awesome dishes (basically the girl did all the cooking :P). We have pigs in the blanket, mash potatoes, brussels sprouts and roast carrot ready, while waiting for the chicken to cook in the oven. It's pretty similar to what I had for lunch, this is typical British Christmas meal~

Waiting for the maincourse to serve itself:

I was thinking if there're too many food since I just had a heavy lunch =.= So we took our time, chatting about all sorts of things and jokes while slowly eating our dinner. I've made so many nonsense jokes that are so funny that I burst myself into laughter, and I don't remember most of them now... It's like the third or fourth Sunday Roast in a week, but I can't deny that it's nice~ now I'm literally having it ALL DAY LONG!

Chicken is done, here goes dinner rumble!

My appetite didn't fail me, I'm the last man eating (as always, not because I eat slow, just that I won't stop). After resting for a while, we serve the final course~ puddings with ice cream. I have to say, I could normally finish one tub by myself, and I think the girls can easily clear up at least half by themselves. I guess the maincourse was really satisfying, we ended up sharing 1 tub among 4 of us and didn't finish it, haha.

Ending the night with ice cream:

"Abba, Father,everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."

This is what I love about CF people, no matter what course, which campus, and which generation we are, we can still spend time together like a family. I kinda noticed that I spent most of my time with the previous gen of CF members before they left UK as well. Indeed, I don't need tonnes of good friends, but just a few that really care for each other. Treasure everyone around you while they're still around, Amen.
