From my House to Yours...

I am ready for Christmas day....or close enough.  I have my shopping done and decorations got put up right after Thanksgiving.  See..

I have a menu:  crab cakes and remoulade, goat cheese with pistachios, honey and fig jam on crackers; roasted Iberico pork loin; potato fennel gratin, roasted asparagus, broccoli, and beet salad.  For dessert I made assorted cookies and an Italian Christmas pudding cake made with panettone.  I really want to make popovers, but that is a scheduling issue with two ovens in use.  I wonder how I handled that in the past?

The table is set:

I honestly do not know why I bother with the setting as no one seems to notice, lol.

The snow on the ground is gone and there is none in the immediate future, which is a good thing for travellers.  I have three books from the local library to relax with when the hubbub is over.  

However you celebrate the holidays in December, I hope you get to enjoy them with family and friends.  From my house to yours and all the villages in between.

Happy Holidays.
