Office Christmas Dinner
On the menu: Olive Garden salad, Chicken Cordon Bleu, mashed potatoes with chicken gravy, green beans, homemade rolls, and poached pears with custard sauce.
I made a last-minute run to the Dollar Store for those goblets that, in the words of Travis, "Look like they came from a grandma's attic in the 70's." I took that as a compliment and on the table they went.
The two ladies in the picture are the ones who keep T. Schuller on track and they make a great team. It was a fun evening. Here's an excerpt about it from my weekly family letter:
"I accidentally heated the oil up too hot for the chicken, charring the first batch, but then managed to save the rest of them, giving us just enough for everyone. Lucy and Miles got hold of the charred chicken while we were eating in the other room, and were holding it like a burrito, eating it without a thought."
This, for me, kick-started the holiday season. Let the festivities begin!
