Tomorrow we'll be heading over to my brother & sister-in-law's place for Christmas brunch; then it's off to the movies to watch... well, a movie, to be determined. After that we'll be heading back home for some much-needed lazing about and eating of leftovers.
Here's wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas!

Amanda - I hope that you and your fammily have a very Merry Christmas!
Sure, Lulu, come on over! We're eating at 6:30! Thank you for the Christmas wishes--be well, my friend.
I love your idea of your series of kitchen tips. Keep going with them until you reach 100.
My new book (Nov/08) is filled with kitchen tips, in fact, each chapter is a series of kitchen tips with recipes here and there.
Definitely worth checking out:

WOW what a menu!
Have a blessed Christmas, Amanda. :) God bless you and yours!
Merry Christmas! Your menu looks fantastic!
Many thanks, George. I need to get back to posting those!
Rebecca--thank you, and Merry Christmas to you & your family. We do have to get together sometime.
Kathy, my friend. Thank you.
Christmas Eve recap: the meal was a success--plenty of food for all, and LOTS of leftovers! The chevre & blackberries were a HUGE hit. I had to mix it with some mascarpone to make it a spreadable consistency, however. The blackberries were a perfect accompaniment to the saltiness of the goat cheese. Everything else was good, traditional food. The sugar-free ambrosia salad was, dare I say BETTER than regular 5-cup salad!
I hope you have a lovely Christmas Amanda, my 2009 resolution is to blog more and read more blogs - I have been missing out for months now!
