December 25, 2015 Christmas Dinner at Amy and Vahl’s house
We had a leisurely morning. I made real hot chocolate using ground cacao and sugar, a little heavy cream and milk. Then we gathered up some things for a overnight stay and drove to Amy and Vahll’s house in El Dorado. Jan and Jim were already there when we arrived . Pretty soon Amy had assembled a full turkey dinner with creamed sweet potatoes, regular mashed potatoes, a delicious turkey roasted by Vahl, cranberry sauce, a wonderful chopped kale salad, dressing with pecans, and gravy.we brought a bottle of Archer’s Summit 2013 rose, which went perfectly with the meal. Jim is a Chardonnay fan and brought a bottle of La Crema Chardonnay.. After dinner Vahl made us bowls of vanilla bean gelato with fresh berries and a wonderful chocolate sauce bought at Whole Foods.
Willy called from Berlin, where he is spending Christmas with friends and we called Marta in Santa Cruz.
Bon Appetit
