Om to the nom nom

Well . . . Christmas dinner went well. We had roast goose with fruit-and-nut stuffing, roasted sweet potato wedges, and caramelized fennel and onions. To drink with that, we had an Alsace Gewürztraminer (Cuvée Comtes d'Eguisheim Léon Beyer, Alsace 2000). We were both good about not pigging out. Later, though, we retired with a Green Chartreuse and some chocolates from Les Chocolats de Chloé, which we received as a gift from M. and Y.

Eating Well

You definitely seem to have the important parts of the holiday down right. I must aspire to eat this well next year.

It takes two things:

1. The patience to select recipes, prepare food, and carefully match wine – even if that means reading up on these topics before every meal.
2. The will to allocate more of your holiday budget to food and drink, at the expense of other items.

To me, it's a no-brainer to select fancy meals with friends over everything else, but not everybody feels that way.
