Christmas at home

We had Christmas early because Jason and his girlfriend Emily are both chefs at hotel restaurants and they both had to work on Christmas day. Jason is the Chef de Cuisine at The Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas. Emily is the Executive Sous Chef at the Stoneleigh Hotel in Dallas. Trevor is an architect caught in the lay offs of the recession. He is looking and we are confident he will find the perfect position very soon. This is them in the kitchen that we are almost finished renovating.

Trevor has the beard, Jason is deboning the turkey so it will cook faster and Emily is helping.

 We are having some cheese, mussels and breads.  

We are also enjoying champagne with pomegranate juice.

Kitty is going to help with the onions.

My table was set with festive colors for the season.

I used caper bottles as vases for the Gerber Daisies along with lemons and limes for the center piece.
