Lately we have done a fair few baked goods in lieu of more materialistic "Christmas gifts" to our friends.
We made, and I've recently eaten:

Chewy chocolate cookies with white/dark chocolate chips.
Anzac biscuits with chocolate hairstripes
Anzac biscuits, no chocolate
Vanilla shortbread
Honey Jumbles (like gingerbread with a few more spices)
Vanilla cupcakes with pastry creme
Sultana raisin vanilla cupcakes
Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate pastry creme

Lots of sugar...ech...but nice.

Today (well, "christmas" day) we hit up a local bakery VERY early in the morning and got
*A croissant
*A cheese/bacon soft roll
*A chicken and vegetable pie (which was not so great)
and a coffee.
*Some long soft bread rolls.

For lunch we had a cheese and kumato roll each.

For dinner, the remainder of the fresh bread, some chilli tuna, spicy sardines, cucumber, houmos, tzatziki, water crackers, sliced ginger, avocado with lemon, smoked salmon, and kumato. Probably a few items I forgot there, but yeah that kind of thing, very nice/not heavy, refreshing and awesome.

Hot chocolate now.
