I am feelin' fat and happy right about now. We just finished eating homemade beef taquitos (with enchilada sauce for dipping), Mexican-style red rice and our favorite holiday salad - a Moroccan mix of romaine, oranges, dates and toasted almonds, with a dressing of orange and lemon juice, orange blossom water, honey and cinnamon (from one of Paula Wolfert's cookbooks). I can't eat another bite.
Gina's made a bunch of truffles - a batch of maple and one of chocolate - and a couple batches of rice crispy treat balls - one with peanut butter and chocolate, the other chocolate. She's still got pies (pumpkin, buttermilk and chocolate mousse) and fudge planned.
Tomorrow will be a peach-glazed ham, bbq beans, au gratin potatoes, green beans, rolls...a big Xmas spread. We're having company tomorrow. There'll be nine of us, total.
