The One and I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, so we got up early to make a video. Why we didn’t think to do this last week, when we weren’t rushed, I’ll never know. But at least you can see the snowfall through the windows on this white Christmas.
And if you’re curious as to the recipes we’re making for our Christmas dinner, here they are:
Gougeres
Beef Wellington
Braised Carrots with Orange and Rosemary
Old-Fashioned Potato Gratin
Hershey Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting (The frosting is from Epicurious, and we have adapted a million ways from Sunday. So I can’t give you an exact recipe.)
Now, we’re very curious as to what you making today. So comment below and send any pictures here. We’ll post them with your comments.
Absolutely LOVE the video. More please sir. And the peanut butter mascarpone frosting recipe would be wonderful when you have time to write it down. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Looking forward to my Sunday’s with Leites.
Thank you, Anne. The plan is to do more videos. We just have to figure out exactly how to do it! And Happy Holidays to you, too.
So glad you liked it, Anne. And I’ll just say that peanut butter-mascarpone frosting with the Hershey’s chocolate cake on the site is probably my very favorite dessert.
Merry Christmas!
And to you, too, Judith.
This is lovely! Thank you so much – now I have a face to put to the name.
I am also having a non-traditional dinner, with turkey breast marinated in olive oil and lemon juice, rosemary roasted red potatoes. For vegs, I have broccoli, tomatoes, cucs, and I haven’t decided what to do with that yet. Dessert is a surprise, a bit of a pot luck, always fun!
Lise-Anne, your dinner sounds great! What was dessert?
Your dinner sounds delicious, Lise-Anne!
