I'm home for a week with my family in SC. Our normal routine includes my mother, sister, and myself going to my Grandparent's for dinner Christmas Eve (after church of course), and then them coming to ours' Christmas Day. The cooking responsibilities generally fall to me. I usually fail to disappoint (minus one year I attempted Cassoulet and it was an epic fail...I'll stick to getting my fix at
Buvette). And of course it's not Christmas without some holiday jewelry sparkle.
This year the menu included a horseradish herb butter rubbed Rib Roast complimented by mixed colorful carrots and asiago cheese scalloped potatoes. The meal ended with a taste of Paris, French Chocolate Mousse (the recipe we cooked at a
cooking class in Paris, Christmas 2012).
The day was filled with gifts, Champagne, Apples to Apples, family and full bellies. Parker (our family dog) even snuck a taste.
(caught red handed)
Happy Birthday Jesus.
