We're having a boxing day party, as we do every year. My brother and I do most of the cooking. I've made a buche du noel, an artery clogging artichoke dip, smoked salmon and dill cream cheese to be assembled, and I still have to make the cheese puffs (like cream puffs only without the creamy center and baked full of gruyere.)
I can't find the post from the year the dog ate the entire buche du noel and didn't even have the good grace to be mildly queasy. Thank goodness he wasn't really sick, and it didn't seem to hurt him at all. 6 eggs, 1 pound of bittersweet chocolate, almost a quart of heavy cream. We're very careful to never leave the cake unattended ever since that year.
I hope you are all having a lovely holiday. We are even though my 25 year old brother still gets a little bratty around holidays and my husband likes to sleep like a little bear. There is tons of champagne and way too much food. We really are very lucky.
