A very Merry Christmas to our family, friends, acquaintances, and blog readers around the world. May this time brings you peace, happiness and good health.
Benno and I are happy to be spending this winter in our travel trailer here in Florida. The weather forecast for today called it “mostly sunny and pleasant with a daytime of 25C/77F.” Sounds perfect to me. Our yesterday’s Christmas Eve dinner consisted of a warmed up pre-roasted turkey breast with whole cranberry sauce, yams in brown butter and brussels sprouts. Today’s dinner will be Ribeye steaks cooked on the BBQ accompanied with fresh asparagus. German white wine goes with everything!
As a German tradition that we have kept in all of our married years is to have a “Bunte Teller” for Christmas, translated to a plate heaped with Christmas cookies and goodies. Our plates were not big enough to fit everything and we didn’t include mixed nuts or fruits. So if we look a bit chubby cheeked in future photos, you know we are still working on finishing those Bunte Teller!!
Have a wonderful time everyone and I will report soon again.
By the way, look at this flowering Christmas cactus.
Merry Christmas, enjoy that warm weather!
ReplyDeleteThank you the same to you and yes, we will.

ReplyDeleteThank you, same to you.
DeleteMerry Christmas you guys! What? No stollen this year? Well you've got plenty of goodies on that plate (luckily).
ReplyDeleteSame to you. Oh, but there was, the box above the plate. It's a Gourmet Stollen!
DeleteMy favorite kind of Christmas. WARM!! Merry Christmas to you both and to your fur babies!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you too. Warm weather, that's why we are here :-)
DeleteYah, I could take those warm temperatures just now! For the first time I paid serious attention to you side bar. I think I might go cruising or sailing a bit.
ReplyDeleteSending you warm sunshine your way! Go ahead and submerge yourself in the cruising blog and go surfing!
DeleteMerry Christmas to you both and to the fur kids. As we get older presents are replaced with special treats and keeping our bones warm.
ReplyDeleteThank you. You are right priorities change but I wouldn't want to have it any other way.
DeleteMerry Christmas to you both!
ReplyDeleteThank you and we hope yours was too.
