We've had a splendid Christmas day in North Carolina with Dick and Dotty and Steve and Kevin.  Hope that the same is true for each of you wherever you've spent the holidays.

The day began with coffee and muffins, stockings and gifts.  Then we segued into cooking a wonderful filet roast with port wine reduction sauce, accompanied by green beans and delicious rosemary infused mashed potatoes.  I'm amazed I could type it quickly given how intricate the preparation process was...but it was well worth it.  Kevin was Chef, Laura was sous chef, Steve was sous chef and runner.  It's a truism that there's always at least one thing you need to run out for when preparing a holiday meal. In Steve's case, it was two things.

We had a great, post-prandial conversation and dessert.  Then Steve and Kevin went home and we've been poking around, uploading Ipods, chatting with various friends/family members and watching videos.

Quite festive all the way around.  Merry Christmas to all!
