The day after Christmas

It has already passed Christmas and I still tired, but I satisfied too. Was a night full of love and joy and with many presents too Even my dogie won his present.


Natal 07 dog
Christmas is my favorite holiday and I worked hard putting love an kind to every single detail, to made the night unforgettable
I lay the table into the traditional colors: red and white. White dinnerware and silverplate that I only use one or two times a year (clean it, is boring and a arduous task), but it gave a touch of good taste and elegance.

I spent all last week baking cookies to present friends and relatives I also reserve some cookies to put in the table coffee to eat with our final dinner coffee and tea.
The good thing is that I still have some cookies in the tin, the bad thing was that I forgot to put in the table….but, things happens.



I made my traditional roasted turkey with a veggie cous cous , green salads, fresh grilled mushrooms and rice , ham and cheese tart, vitello tonnato ( a tradition here in Argentina) my mascarpone red fruits verrines without meringue.Roasted peaches spread with pistachios and ice cream, my sister in law’s brownie chocolate mousse, and home made panetone. The next days I promises that I post a few more of my Christmas´s recipe

Though I do not typically like hard-cooked eggs, I love them when they are deviled like these. Smoked salmon sounds a treat to stuff them with. I hope you are enjoying a very happy Christmas holiday, Sylvia. Your pup is charming. What is his name?

Susan I don´t like too hard cooked eggs , but this are terrific, you must try. And the pup (actualy he is a senior guy), well is a long story. We found he, in a hot summer day ( four years ago)knock down. In that time we watched a TV show called John Doe , and when the veterinarian ask for his name I said "John Doe" for obvioulsy reasons. And well..we learn to love him and today we call him " Johnny"


Kevin , was really good.
