A “simple” Christmas supper at home

L: guacamole and salmon carpaccio on crackers, cheese. R: lemongrass duck on egg noodles.

In theory, that is. I find myself wanting to fuss less and less for xmas holiday meals, and with the MotH to help with the nibbles/cheeseboard, it really is easy. So why does the house and everything in it smelling like smoke and sizzling duck fat?

Answer: because I didn’t think to turn on the exhaust hood.

Serves me right for drinking wine🍷 and cooking at the same time.

I won’t go into detail about how that wine spilled all over the computer desk and white wall.🙁

Merry Christmas from the chestnut forest!
