That horrible mass murder put a cloud over my Christmas too. Your mouth watering descriptions of your holiday feast helped lift it.

Thank you! I too was able to enjoy my feast, however much work it was to get it all on the table! Saving you some Bûche, which was really delicious!

Bonjour Cherry– Your description of the Christmas feast–really makes me smile greatly– as I remember — so many of these during past Christmas days in my beautiful, wonderful Montreal– where I would always fly into on DELTA from Monroe–Of your descriptions of food–I am again amazed at the similarities of France and Quebec–The smoked salmon is EXACTLY as prepared for me in Le Montrealais/Bistrot at Le Reine Elizabeth Hotel–I asked about their source– and it is flown in daily from Newfoundland — and I just have to eat some freshly baked french bread with it!

Les Québécois carried a lot of their food customs with them when they left France for North America. I bet the salmon from Newfoundland is wonderful! They also are blessed to have all those maple trees giving off their treasured maple syrup, which I adore. My grandmother, who lived in upstate New York, near Vermont would always send a gallon of maple syrup at Christmas time, but it was from Vermont of course!

I remember your Grandmother very well as we sat and talked stocks in the den of your home on Hilton when she visited–can still “see” her just like it was yesterday—
