Christmas Eve Chez Nous

Christmas Eve, at our house

It was pretty laid back, a nice mix of traditions. I had a kir royal (although I prefer crémant with my créme de cassis),

and we experimented with a pintade farcie (Guinea Fowl, semi-de-boned and stuffed with a mix of other meats and flavorings),

alongside our traditional spicy carrots and cheesey broccoli.

Even though we started near 8:00 (normal for us here), that was much earlier than the French Christmas Eve tradition of midnight! And our dinner was much less elaborate, but very nice :-)
