We are fortunate to be in this country and this part of the world where I prepared an embarrassing amount of decadent food for the holiday. This year we had a few bumps in the road with our plans but dinner came out great. After a Christmas Eve with good friends consisting of Potato Leek soup, crab legs and shrimp we feasted again Christmas Day on Prime Rib Roast, Duck and various sides. I still feel full after all that but then on Sunday we entertained again, this time I made a Chicken Picatta and sorely burned the baguettes to the point of no return.
The sad part about the season this year was no church service matched our needs (work schedules) and the weather pattern so we missed the services we really needed to attend.

| On the plate we had Mushrooms roasted in duck fat, Gene's Potatoes, Asparagus with hollandaise, Roasted Duck and Roasted Prime Rib. Whew! That was quite a meal. |

On Sunday we entertained the Kropp's and since I royally burned the bread and made a scene that would blush a teamster, Bob reenacted the murder from Psycho with a baguette which would have dented steel or clubbed a seal to death. Such a disappointment after spending 24 hours conditioning the dough and then forgetting it in the oven.
