Our Christmas

Since it's almost the New Year and everything, I figured that I should probably do a quick post about the Christmas celebration that Darrell and I had. Even though we had a crazy busy holiday season of two immediate family celebrations (one still this weekend yet!) and four extended family celebrations, we always like to take a little bit of time to celebrate the holiday or special occasion just the two of us. Even if we end up having to celebrate Christmas on December 21st.

Per usual, we celebrated Christmas this year with two of our favorites: good food and a bottle of wine. And since I have a husband who is a fantastic cook, we didn't even have to leave the house to find the good food!


Way back in August I bought of bottle of French wine and insisted that we needed to cook an "authentic" French meal to go with it. Well, with our busy fall we never got around to dabbling in new recipes, so I sent my sight on making a French dinner for Christmas. While I don't know how authentic anything was, it sure was tasty. We had steak au poivre, homemade French bread with olive oil for dipping, a spinach salad, and of course, the wine. I do have better recipes and reviews to share, but as I alluded to earlier, we have one last Christmas celebration (my immediate family) and the three-day extravaganza starts tonight. Yes, that's right. Three days. All evening tonight, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday. I love my family and all but seriously.... Thank goodness there'll be wine.
