Penthesilea:
Good luck to everyone for your Christmas menus!
We had our traditional pork loin wrapped in bacon and baked in the oven in a cream cheese with herbs and sour cream sauce. Goes with noodles. Helen was allowed to eat the same. It's Christmas and I think two exceptions in December are okay.
We passed on the also traditional ice-cream dessert because Helen had asked us to, so the dessert was coffee and a game of crazy8s :).
Today we'll be at my in-laws. I don't know what my MIL will have for us but hope for something good. :)

Well, I suppose your Christmas is just about over, Chrissi! I hope you and your family had a very happy one. I just finished making Tamarind Spiced Chickpeas and Spinach while waiting for the turkey to be done. It looks and smells wonderful! That's one of the best things about Christmas...the wonderful aromas.

Thank you very much, we did and still do. Christmas is not over here in Germany. We celebrate three days long, starting on Dec. 24th.
Two of three Christmas days are over, but tomorrow is another national holiday. Todays was in-laws, tomorrow is my family. :)

And you should be in the midst of celebrating right now! Hope you also have a lovely time with your family! :-*
