A Happy Shiny Christmas

We surely enjoyed our Christmas meal and our evening together.  Lots of shiny bright personalities, lots of laughter, enjoyment at the thought of being all together once again~

The table was set simply yet with much finery; no excess; it all counted~

My goal is to find these French curtain rings for all of those who want them….looking….please be patient….

For appertif, we had Kir Royal, California Sparkling with Crème de Cassis; watch for more on this later this week~

for appetizer, baked brie which you will also see this week~delicious molten lava of brie which was all eaten~

My local family was all there, and we all brought our dogs; here is Isabella the Italian Greyhound doing her best Max of the Grinch fame impersonation~

I cooked a 17+ pound turkey with all the trimmings~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Afterward, there were presents under the tree and time to relax, have chocolates and pears belle Helene for dessert, again more later this week~

 

It was a great Christmas but stay tuned this week for explanations, recipes, and explanations…..
