Xmas dinner

[ellen_datlow]

Ugh. Too much food and too much drink. Party of 12 in the east village:

Lots of champagne. Several appetizers: chicken liver and hazelnut terrine, Pork rillette, ham and Roquefort loaf; scallop, red pepper, and basil mousse like bread-shaped thingie; cheese (mixed with something) on toast put in the oven (very nice grilled cheese); chopped clam and mushrooms (I think) on toast.

More champagne.

Caesar Salad, Goose, Brussel sprouts, rutabaga, cranberry sauce, bulgar rice stuffing, wine wine wine. And the most amazing home made duck sausage.

Sweet potato (homemade) pie and Pecan pie (bought) home made whipped cream, Italian cookies, home made brownies, and after dinner liqueurs, coffee.

Home and tums and lots of water.

Edited slightly in the morning...

Many thanks. I'd ship you some cheese but not sure how well it would travel. ;-)

Cougar cheese from Washington State U is mailed all over the country --but it's in a tight can--they won't mail them to Florida or other hot climes in the summer). But regularly packed cheese? Dunno if I'd take a chance. Please don't worry about it.
