Our 2005 Christmas dinner — a duck and some carrots, potatoes, and turnips poached in broth and then browned in a hot oven





For that Christmas dinner, Walt made a chocolate bûche de Noël, a jelly roll cake with chocolate-walnut frosting

Enjoy your 2022 Christmas dinner! Ours will be turkey with cranberry-apricot dressing, green beans, and sweet potato fries, plus pumpkin pie for dessert.
