Christmas Time Is Here! What's for Dinner?
The easiest menu of the year is the one for Christmas week, based as it is on our family traditions. Christmas Eve is soup and bread, there's a feast on Christmas (the menu changes year to year, as we are wont to celebrate a different cuisine each year. This year we're doing Caribbean). Boxing Day, for us, is called Non Sans Jammie which is bad and probably inaccurate French for "Never out of your jammies". On that day we lie about all day, watching our collection of Christmas movies. I used to make Boxing Day Cassoulet, using the left-over meat from Christmas dinner, until I realized that I was in the kitchen cooking instead of lounging, so now we have the cassoulet on the 3rd day of Christmas.
All this suits me very well, a flurry of baking and roasting in the run-up to Christmas and then a few days of relative leisure in the kitchen. Both the flurry and the not so speak to my attitude toward the holidays...lots of good food, lots of time to lavish on loved ones.
Merry Christmas!

Y'know, Lorraine, you really should put a disclaimer at the top of your blog...

That's pretty funny, Syd.
Yeah Syd's been pretty damn heelarious lately. But she still won't let me access her profile.
Pft.
Hat...huh? Only profile I have is on MySpace, but I'll gladly send you directions to my profile page if'n you want! Or tell me how to find your page, and I'll send you a friend request like that.
Ham and cheese brioche...yum...
Look at the little bloggers, hooking up over the ham and cheese brioche. Awwww.
okay there is a flight leaveng FCO in about 2 hours... if I time it right I can get there just in time for Christmas breakfast. Save some Ham and Cheese brioche.. .please. Now that flight thing may not work out so have a wonderful Christmas.
We'll hold on to one brioche just in case, Willym. And a glass of champers. Kinda like the prophet Elijah at Passover. If you don't make it, though, I'll have to drink the champagne.
Merry Christmas!
