Before the holidays have us running half way across the
world, Christophe and I always have a low key celebration just between us. We call it “le dîner de l’Avent” or our Advent dinner. It’s not quite Christmas, so it would be
silly to call it that. It’s our quiet
time before the holiday storm. The
weather warmed up enough to have the aperitif outside, but we moved the meal
indoors afterwards.
The Menu
First Course: Crème of
Potimarron, Smoked Salmon, Fresh Fennel Sprouts; Homemade Foie Gras cooked in Port,
Toast Points
Main Course: Veal Roast in a Green Olive-Vegetable Broth,
served with Carrots
I think it’s important for every family to create their own
traditions, whatever it may be; this is ours – a small overindulgence, to say
the least.
The blog will be taking a break for the holidays, but will
be back in January. Until then, have a
wonderful holiday season. I’ve got
gingerbread cookies to make – no, I’m not kidding.
