I don't know about you, but I'm still recovering from Christmas Dinner! My brother and his family are vegetarian, and everyone is a gourmet cook (including his son)—so the making the feast has everyone in the kitchen (I contributed the Guinness chocolate cake—alas, it didn't last long enough for a photo!)
We started with an assortment of local artisanal cheeses,then moved on to carrot-ginger soup, risotto patties, kale salad and stuffed mushrooms. Somehow we all managed to find room for the cake and traditional Swiss cookies made of gingerbread filled with marzipan!
The evening was overflowing with laughter and love.
I hope your table was also filled with goodies and good cheer.
Happy Holidays, everyone!
Sounds wonderful, Cara/Andrea, both for the fellowship and the food! Who needs a turkey or a ham when there is gourmet vegetarian and a Guinmess chocolate cake? *G*

You make being a vegetarian sound like a possibility.
I today enjoyed a butternut squash omelet with blue cheese and caramelized onions.
Later today, I will exchange pears for tangerines.
Enjoy the rest of the season.

It was, Mary Jo. For me, it’s a perfect meal—lots of healthy, tasty food, allowing a total splurge on dessert!

Sounds yummy, Shannon. While I’m not strict vegetarian, I very much enjoy meatless meals, and tend to eat way more of them than not.
Best wishes to you for the season too—and I’ll take some of your pears for a slice of Guinness cake!

We have another Christmas dinner coming up on the 6th!
I love seeing people try alternate things. In Australia we’re still pretty much following the traditional British Christmas recipes, which really don’t work in an Australian summer.
I attempted an enormous, edible Christmas tree, and I was horrified by how it turned out. However, someone sneaked the stupid thing into the middle of the dinner table as the centrepiece. They obviously have lower standards than me!
My fingertips are STILL stained green from making it…
