Raspberry and rose souffle
What we've been up to the past week:
Listening to Christmas music (Frank, Dean, Bing, Doris, et al) and watching favorite Christmas films: Elf, Miracle on 34th Street and a new favorite since last year - Peter and the Wolf. The second two are streaming on Netflix.
On Thanksgiving the kids and Dave and I made:
Scalloped Yukon Gold and Sweet Potatoes
Green Salad with cherries, walnuts and apples
Lemon Cream Pasta
Hutterite Turkey with homemade gravy
and Pumpkin Creme Brulee!
So good.
We've also been working on Christmas decorations and handmade wrapping and gifts. We started some paper mache puppets based on these:
which you can find instructions for here
There is a Santa, an elf, a reindeer and a deer girl in the works so far.
And baking sugar cookies.
And last night Madeline and I made Raspberry rose souffles - oh my god - so so amazing. We made them with two pints of fresh raspberries, which were pureed and put through a fine sieve to remove the seeds - the prettiest bright pink, no food coloring required.
But after making souffles (10 egg whites) we had a bunch of yolks leftover... So tonight M and I are making eggnog custards!

Christmas owls
I've been working on dolls for the etsy shop and have owl and bunny girls in the works so far - I think the pink bunny girl is going to be amazing!
Here are two very sweet owls...
Marmalade
and Esme
Esme in apple red back view - M is still pinned
I will be listing one of these girls in the shop tomorrow - I am also taking custom orders at Etsy, and will be listing more dolls within the next week.
