Christmas Day Recap


How was your Christmas day? Was it a crazy day of visiting and eating with family and friends? Or more of an intimate quiet affair? Either way, I hope it was everything that you wanted it to be.


We hosted an intimate Christmas Day dinner for five. My husband, (And resident chef!) decided to prepare his speciality; Herbes de Provence encrusted roast beef with traditional accompaniment.
 
 

 
 
I was in charge of the plum pudding sauce which, in the end, was more of a Courvoisier soup. So, we just went with it, lit it on fire and let the bluish flame dance over the bombe of dried fruit and nuts!
 
 
After our guests had left, we ended the night by settling down to our 'downstairs' tree to watch some of the UK Christmas specials.
