The last of the guests just went home, and Christmas dinner was very
much a success.
We seated nine this year, including ourselves, and served roasted
chickens, one with bread stuffing, the other with sausage, yam cooked
with maple syrup and cranberries (very, very yummy), mashed potatoes
(sounds boring, but I did them, and I start everything with a generous
amount of butter, they were pretty good), mixed veggies in a white wine
and cheese sauce, gravy, of course. I served a Spanish Rose and a
Chilean Carmenere, and had a Sauvignon Blanc, another Chilean entry
ready, but no one wanted white, so it stayed capped.
Yes, capped. More and more of the wines we are getting here are screw
capped. Apparently it is nearly as good, but I still prefer pulling a cork.
Anyway, no family this year, but instead, friends of our choosing. It
was refreshing, pleasant conversation, lots of laughing and fine humor.
A good time was had by all.
Merry Christmas and a happy day off to everyone.
