White chocolate with fruits

Kajal was visiting us last week here in Charleston and so we decided to host an early Christmas party.

Its fantastic have someone enthusiastic and creative who loves the festivities just as much all of us here. Kajal and Akash set up and decorated the Christmas tree did all the shopping and planned the party. An Italian Christmas.

Kajal and Akash made some lasagne (well Kajal made it) and pizza, salads, dressings etc. I made the dessert, a lemon custard pie with fresh fruit. As usual, drinks were flowing and as it is Christmas, lots of other choccy goodies were consumed too.

Manu and I feel really very blessed to have all our friends and family around us and we want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and all the best for 2015.
