I made Christmas Dinner

and no one got sick.

The Menu:
Turkey (which was free range from the Greenmarket and brined),
Apple-sage-sausage stuffing that Mr. made (totally incredible),
Potatoe Gratin
Carrot Vichy, Greenbeans, Cranberry sauce
(all the above were cooking improvisations)

Thank goodness our neighbor lent us her table and chairs. I also loved being able to cook for someone other than Mr. and using all our beautiful serving pieces from our wedding china! I made a homemade chicken soup on Christmas eve day, a few breakfasts and we had dessert and coffee almost every evening....
Isn't my dad cute!?!
Mr. got us a gigantic plasma screen TV and I got him lots of socks and underwear.
He also got me a big mama Kitchen-aid stand mixer!!! I have always wanted one, but we don't really have any counterspace for it. We still don't but who cares? It is awesome!
