A Very Joyful Christmas

Christmas Day


Michele had perhaps her best day in a month, aided by having good friends over for a semi-traditional British Christmas dinner prepared by Mae.

Geese are not common in Austin, so we had duck, which I suppose is kind of like a little goose, but not as greasy.


Mae began her work on the Christmas "pud," shown in the photo, days in advance. Her pudding was delicious, even for those who are not used to the Brit's style of cooking.

Mae came to Cat Mountain Christmas morning, took command of the kitchen, and spent all day preparing the dinner. She did a wonderful job and made Michele very happy--perhaps the best Christmas present ever.
