I'm Back!

I am [almost] all unpacked and settled into the new house. A month after we moved we had to pack again and travel to Brazil for my brother's wedding. BTW, the wedding was beautiful and the reception amazing. Nothing like being served amazing food with champagne flowing freely.Then we flew back home and the holiday season was upon us. It brought joy but also a lot of shopping trips, wrapping, and cooking.

I cooked up a storm for Christmas. Cookies, Trimmings, Dessert, Turkey - starting by brining, then roasting with a delicious cornbread stuffing, basting every 30 minutes - the whole nine yards. For New Year's, we chose a low-key option: very simple and quick dishes but decadent dessert and great champagne. Definitely much more relaxing and enjoyable.
