Actually I did a dinner cooking class with that client the other day, and it went really, really well. She was thrilled. Amy

Tonight was pan seared filet mignon with a caramelized onion and cremini mushroom cream sauce, twice baked potato and steamed green beans. All washed down with a See Ya Later Ranch Ping. Am too full for dessert.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Reporting back the at the sous vide lobster medallions and hasselback potato gratin were both hits and will be revisted in our house. I am going to go back and comment on both source threads in case I want to find my results later, but it all went very well.
Hope everyone's Christmas Day meals go perfectly!

Was at a friends last night...she made a traditional oyster stew. I only brought chocolate truffles.
Today, heading to another friends for dinner and bring the infamous CI Coconut Cream Pie and truffles....every time I make this pie I think of Frank's ordeal so detailed on TOBB and it does make me chuckle.

Had huge Italian meal with DH's family....ate way too much food and am too stuffed for words. Glad we just did a cheese tray and appies for lunch or I'd explode!
Hope everyone was able to spend time with loved ones, either related by blood or families by choice, and are equally stuffed and ready to roll into bed.

I did a chicken galletine, boned whole chicken, stuffed with a mix of pancetta, proscuitto, sage, garlic and fennel seeds, rolled and roasted. I roasted it on a rack over a tray of root vegetables. My mother-in-law made a Baumkuchen, a cake that is made by broiling thin layers of batter. Everyone was happy.

Breakfast was French Toast using challah and brioche breads. Dinner was a beef tenderloin (bought at our local warehouse club **disclaimer - the same retailer that I work for, so I won't mention names** ) - it was very good. Also, roasted brussel sprouts, sauteed green beans, mashed potatoes and french baguettes. It was just my immediate family (lovely wife Mary, and Erin and Andrew). The extened family party is this Saturday - I am one of 12 kids, so our small gathering for Christmas worked out great.

Mary Mary, I've never seen a whole boned chicken gallentine before, but your description interested me. I found this Jacques Pepin video (click) on the technique and he bones the chicken in about 3 mins. I think it would take me a quite a bit more time, but the technique looked so useful that I am adding it here. --Lisa
