A feast fit for a Queen! Here I am at 10am on Christmas day waiting to dig in to my veg Christmas brunch. Brunch is the main meal of the day at the ashram and there is nothing quite like having Christmas dinner in the morning! They went all out for this meal and it really was much more 'Martha' than the regular daily meals.
In the cup is Ayurvedic tea and next to that is glass noodle pudding, which is kind of like rice pudding but made with noodles. On the banana leaf from left to right is a banana, banana chips, some type of bean, beets, pineapple curd (similar to plain yogurt), poppadom, okra, dessert rice with nuts then plain rice with sambor on top. I stuffed myself to the gills and even ate my neighbours banana!
In the evening we went for a walk to the lake and did our 8pm meditation at lake side. On the way we saw this Christmas tree which Emily was much more enthused about than Jo!
It was a very different way to spend Christmas day but definately enjoyable!

Good to hear from you darl. You look well rested and happy. I am so glad that you stuck with the Ashram gig because when else will you have the opportunity to give that mind of yours a well deserved rest. I hope that you have mastered the meditating.
Christmas here was great. Hanging out with the family and friends for two days. Got some quality Maeve time which was also great. I can't wait for you to meet her.
Miss you and can't wait to have a glass of wine and a catch up. See you on the 9th.
Love Sue
What an impressive looking Christmas Dinner! We just had steak and lobster! The kids enjoyed themselves and are still enjoying the break from school. As you'll see from our holiday card (when you return home), we're in the midst of renos, so chaos abounds in our already chaotic home. People keep telling me tidiness is overrated, but some semblance of order wouldn't be a bad thing! Really enjoying tracking your other-worldly adventure. Keep up the oms!
That's Christmas dinner?! (yuck)

Just back from skiing. There isn't any snow here so it's amazing that there is on the hill. Thinking about us at Whistler last year :( Miss you lots & can't wait to chat.
Love, Lisa
I thought Indian food is supposed to be good!
