Tour Eiffel De Noël

This year I decided to forgo the holiday tree, mainly because I didn't know how the puppy would react to it. Instead, I strung my Eiffel Tower with lights.

Happy Holidays to all!

I took a movie of it twinkling, but I couldn't get the movie to work out well enough to post here. A still photo will have to do.

Our Christmas dinner menu:

foie gras with sparkling Touraine rosé

roasted poularde (on the rotisserie)
cornbread stuffing
collard greens (grown in our garden)
purée de pommes de terre (mashed potatoes)

salade verte (green salad) with vinaigrette

chocolate brownies that Ken made on Sunday
(oops, we ate those yesterday)
home-made pumpkin nut bread

There will be plenty of bread and local gamay wine.

The stuffing got made last night and the collards were in our freezer, but we have to get the bird out and trussed up for the rotisserie and do the potatoes. Not a lot of work, but it'll be fun to pull it all together.

Enjoy your roast beast or whatever you're having today!
