Sweet Holidays To You!

Merry Christmas!


Merry Christmas to you all! I hope you have the sweetest of holidays! Thank you all for every bit of love and sharing you give me everyday and every time I come around here!

It’s going to be a quiet evening here with friends but you can be sure it won’t be without good food…! Here is our menu for Christmas Eve: homemade lox and blinis, French country pate and baguette, seafood fondue (salmon, tuna, scallops, shrimp), mixed greens with Meyer lemon vinaigrette and for dessert vanilla bean creme brulees….Oh yeah baby…! What’s on yours?

I have today completely dedicated to filling up the gift baskets I hand out to family and friends every year and since they are too busy to read today, I can tell you what is going into them!
French Macarons
Cranberry Coin cookies
Maple Leaf Cookies
Palm Sugar Sandwich Cookies with Cinnamon Cream filling
Indian Cardamom Cookies
Vanilla Shortbread
Sugar Cookies Sandwiches with Brandy Cream
Date Nut Loaves
Hazelnut Blondies
Elderflower Truffles
Cocoa Nib Truffles
Plain Chocolate Truffles
Lemon Meringue Forgotten Cookies

I hope they like them!

Joyeux Noel!

Merry Christmas to you all!! Hope this holiday brings peace and joy to everyone.

Nella nostra mente il natale è distante dal pensiero Divino.Il natale è più che desiderare pace e amore.Il natale è un evento straordinario nel tempo dell'Eternità e degli uomini.Dio decise che più che un uomo doveva farci visita e donarsi completamente per noi:IL DIO DELLA GLORIA,CRISTO GESù. Buon "questo" natale a voi!Rut
