Hi ...Just a quick check in to see how your Christmas day went ...ours was a bit crazy with Tornado's and torrential rain ....made our dinner very late ..but as you can see it all cooked very well and was yummy..
Picture
The Beef Wellington I made came out really pretty and just as  we like it a little pink in the middle ..Yum !!
Picture
Here's my big plate full 
Picture
I very rarely drink but I did have a glass of French Cider ...it's Hard Cider ..from the Verger region of France ..I drink it with every meal when I am in France ...I ask for a Boulé Cidre ..and it usually comes in a dark brown pottery large cup ..yum !! ..Danny joined me so we never did open the bottle of wine
Picture
Picture
Roasted asparagus with freshly grated Gruyere cheese from Switzerland, Brussel Sprouts and bacon, roasted potatoes and roasted carrots ...all of them our favorites 
Picture
Wonderful Tenderloin of Beef that I wrapped in French Paté imported from Bordeaux then I wrapped it in puff pastry and of course decorated it with stars ...so simple to make but oh! so yummy ..it was tender like butter melted in your mouth..luckily we have enough left of everything to have it all over again today ...ha! ha! 
Picture
No room left for dessert so we waited till well in to the evening and ate a nice big piece of this New York Cheese Cake whilst watching a movie ..one of many movies we had given as gifts 
Picture
Danny and I believe that this is the best New York Cheese cake we have ever tasted ..it was shop bought from Whole Foods Bakery department ...we can highly recommend it ....absolutely wonderful 
Picture
My favorite gift was from Danny ...he bought me this super Pie Safe ....to display some of my collection of teacups ....so here it is ...this will be it's permanent place in our Kitchen nook so I pass it over and over again all day long and can enjoy it ..I can change around the cups and put little items in for the seasons ..such as the white Christmas tree I have in today ...isn't it great !!

Below is a Lenox teacup I was given by one of my Sons ..it's called ' Blue Butterfly" ...I just love it ..lots of detail bees, butterfly, dragonfly on the saucer and a tiny very cute ladybug (ladybird) on the saucer and on a leaf on the backside of the cup ..plus I love the scalloped wavy top ...going to have a lovely cup of tea in it this afternoon perhaps with another piece of that Cheesecake !!!

Weather wise it was the craziest Christmas EVER ...Tornado's ...Warnings...Go to your Safe Place...Torrential rain ..record temperatures ..Houses flattened to the ground ..now people are in trouble in the flooding ...even a supermarket is flooded...live pictures on the tv of a man crawling out of the rubble that was his house ..unhurt ..thankyou God ...we eventually ate our Christmas meal at 6.16pm !!!! ....water rescue's going on right now ...it's nearly 7pm...pouring with rain right now with endless thunder ...no interruptions just thunder, thunder, thunder ...lucky to have had our dinner eventually ...lucky to still have our electricity ....roll on 2016 is all I can say ...Then they (the television weather people) are saying rotation is happening in the HWY that leads to our home and that is heading towards us ....fun, fun, fun, Police are driving around the roads with their sirens on and we have had the tornado sirens, like your air raid sirens in Europe..thank goodness the tornado never came to much and didn't come our way  ....had some nice nice gift though and eventually some lovely food ...prayers for the poor people who now have no homes please ...
Hope you had a less crazy christmas than us ...ha! ha! ...happy days 
We are totally safe and ok ....it was  very scary
Picture
I hope you had a great Christmas and not quite as crazy as ours ...enjoy the rest of your weekend ...

We would all love to hear 

Best Wishes 

Janet
