Fresh-baked apple strudel and strong black tea greeted us on Christmas morning this year. Miki received some great gifts from her Aunt in Chicago and some surprises from Tokyo (see posting below) as well as lots of books, much to Mama & Papa's satisfaction.
We lounged all day, kept the tea flowing and made sure to sloth in front of the woodstove every so often. For dinner we (Ericka) made an awesome salt chicken; 5 pounds of salt, some fennel seeds & a large bird. Completely pack the chicken in the salt and bake for 2 hours. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before striking the salt dome with a hammer. The meat is so tender and just pulls away, I don't recall even using cutlery.
We got to cap the evening off with a little bit of white wine and a Christmas movie: How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Miki loved it! Max the trusty dog-cum-reindeer, was her favorite. No big surprise, eh?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
