Well. Our wee boy MacK (or not so wee. I weighed him this morning, and Jane nearly had a heart attack. He was 11.2 kg) has an appetite for the good life!!
When we were in Canberra, we went to lunch at Waters Edge, on the banks of Lake Burley Griffin. It is one of Canberra's best, and the Head Chef is the brother of one of Jane's best friends. We were a party of six, with half as many little people again, and had a beautiful view out across the lake up the avenue to the War Memorial. MacK decided that the food we had prepared and brought for him was no longer satisfactory, and that he wanted to eat what I was eating. So, our wee boy started with fresh baked breads, an amuse of ginger and lime panna cotta with raw salmon tartare. He followed that with duck liver parfait and rabbit and speck galantine. He then had roast duck confit and buttered sugar snap peas followed by a palate cleansing pear sorbet. Eschewing dessert, he opted for a (very) fine imported French cheese.
Our boy better be REALLY good at golf (just kidding Poppy C), because I don't know that we will be able to afford his tastes!
See below for a couple of my favourite shots from our Canberra Christmas:

MacK realising that Grandfathers jokes can be just as dodgy as Dad's ones. Sometimes even more so, as they have had more practice!
