Just received some official photos from the NZ Internet Industry awards we went to 10 days ago. Not often you see professional photos of yourself at the beginning of the night before all the random blurry iPhone photos with shiny faces, flat hair and red eyes. And a nice one of us both in the mix. The other 10 were of The Mister with various famous people and trophies.

Such a howling winter night last night we cooked up a roast – simple but nice and filling and we needed something to sustain The Mister through his long night, all night, at work after dinner. Made some poppin’ cranberry sauce myself and made a kind of wild rice & cranberry salad to go with the chicken rather than stuffing it.

I know I’ve taken photos of the cranberries cooking before but the colours always looks so brilliant.
