Christmas Eve

Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!  We ended up losing power on Sunday evening and planned to stay overnight with friends as temperatures were supposed to dip to minus 15C overnight.  Son K had an idea to call the house from time to time to see if the answering machine would pick up.  It eventually did and we decided to return home.  It had been more than a 24  hour outage.  Fortunately we did go home as we had left a lot of things running such as the TV and many lights were still on inside the house.

Here are some photos from the dinner parties we hosted this past weekend.  We were lucky as the weather took a turn for the worst the day after the last party.  Daughter L does a good job of making and presenting the appetizers.  The first photo is 'figs, gorgonzola, honey and thyme' that I found on 'Inside a British Mum's Kitchen'.
