The guests have all gone. It was another memorable Christmas dinner for a few friends and family that took days to plan, prepare, shop, and cook the food. It's a blessing that my son is taking an interest in cooking. He did most of it. I was only there to guide him and teach him about some of the techniques I know about cooking, wine, and food service.

I will be posting the recipes soon, but for now I am too sleepy and exhausted, I can't even think. It's 2:37AM of the 26th and I'm just waiting for the tablecloth and table napkins to dry.

Merry Christmas everyone!
