Christmas Porridge - Ricy Traditions.

One of my favourite Christmas traditions is the devouring of the Christmas Porridge, known as Julegrøt. Basically we stick a peeled almond in the ricy goo and whoever finds it gets a huge piece of marzipan shaped like a fat pig.

And if you don't get it, don't worry. Because you'll all be so full you will want to kill yourself, or maybe you will actually die. Lot's of carbs and fat and sugar and cinnamon. Can it get anymore Christmasy?

I didn't get the almond. My sister did. I am not jealous. Not at all.

Mmmmm... BRESAOLA!

After almost one and a half years in Italy, I have grown very fond of dried beef - bresaola.
So, since it's been a while since we posted some food shizzle, I proudly present... My Lunch Today:

Toast With Bresaola and Olives:

• Toast bread with no crust
• Bresaola, sliced
• Butter, spreadable
• Olives (or pickles)

1. Toast the bread slightly, spread butter on it.
2. Top with bresaola...
3. ... and olives.
4. Munch.
5. Damn, that was so incredibly difficult. I need to take a nap. Or, I actually need to go to the bank. Dammit.
