Scenes from Christmas Day 2010


Santa baby



Most of the haul. Note the molecular! gastronomy! kit! zombies, great movies, and fountain pen. And Kinect with workout game.



A happy Monster.



The spread: standing rib roast with wine and Rosemary jus, roast fennel and Rosemary mashed potatoes, shredded Brussels sprouts with onion and crispy bacon, and yeast rolls.



Dessert: spiced pumpkin cake with caramel and orange cream cheese frosting.

It was great to share the day (and the meal!) with good friends old and new.

All in all, another successful year. :)
