...I got a heck of a lot done! Last-minute food shopping, all of the gift wrapping, and some house-straightening.
Now I had better get to cooking! Our Christmas Eve dinner will be simple and has become our family tradition:
Starters: foie gras and saumon fumé on toast
Main Course: boudin blanc (see above), sautéed apples, and steamed potatoes
Dessert: A fancy bûche de Noël purchased from a local pastry shop
I love this meal because it is so easy to cook that the evening really feels like a true holiday!
That is my kind of meal! I think we are having a rib roast tomorrow (depending on what D and L bring home). Speaking of L, I'll send you her e-mail address. She is flying to Paris for the semester Jan. 8; perhaps she and D can meet up at some point! We don't know where she will be living yet. That information comes after a period of orientation
ReplyDeleteIt's C who lives in Paris. Of course she will be happy to exchange details. I can also send you all of our personal details, even if we aren't too close to Paris!
ReplyDeleteI keep all Christmas food simple...since we've always just had small celebrations with the four of us (this year the 3 because D is with my family), I've found delicious and simple spreads that work great for us. This year we are having three different meals though, boyfriend oblige!
Merry Christmas Betty! I like your menu. I hope we can meet tut-tut in Paris when hr daughter us there. bises!
