Today was the day of our big Christmas feast! Because of COVID-19, we didn’t have any guests to share it with, but I still made a nice dinner for the seven of us, and since we went to church this morning, it kind of felt like Christmas Day usually does!
As always, a holiday meal begins with a pretty table:
I didn’t make as much food as when we have family visiting, but I still think it was a nice spread. Beef Wellington, mashed potatoes and gravy, Brussels sprouts casserole, sautéed mushrooms, rolls, and cherry cola Jell-O were all on the menu. (We were also supposed to have creamed spinach, but the chef ran out of energy).
For dessert, I made a gingerbread Yule log with white chocolate bark and sugared cranberries:
It was a different Christmas feast than we’re used to, but it was still festive (and delicious!).
Merry Christmas!
