End the year in style with this idea…
It’s the final day of 2014 – are you celebrating in style tonight? The TIG family are having a few friends over for a meal tonight, with no doubt a competitive battle of the sexes game or two, and not forgetting the fireworks! I absolutely love Christmas and I refuse to accept it’s coming to an end! So, for tonight’s meal I decided to keep the theme well and truly festive. Recently, a friend of mine shared this...
