Our last post was on December 14th, normally too early to simply use the Christmas holidays as an excuse. Nevertheless, by and large, that is the card we are going to proffer since it happens to be the truth! Christmas Eve for Dorothy and myself came early this year and took place on December 11th&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, we celebrate Christmas Eve with friends and family in Ottawa by holding an open house. This year, because we had been invited to spend the holidays in France, we advanced the date and held the event on Saturday, December\u00a011th. I did not realize then, \u00a0just how different our Christmas would be this year &#8211; not only because of travelling abroad. Weather,\u00a0health and family dynamics all converged to produce a memorable couple of weeks chock-full of mishaps, pleasures, surprises and laughter. Even though celebrating the holidays in France was totally different from what it would have been in Canada, the central themes remain the same the world over: Family, friends and food.<\/p>\n<p>[ad name=&#8221;Chitika468x120&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Over the next couple of weeks, I will try to get caught up and give you a general, albeit very\u00a0 singular and biased, overview of our European\u00a0gastronomic trials and tribulations. Although this was the first Christmas that Dorothy and I spent out of the country since I arrived here in 1975, I suspect that it will not be the last&#8230;.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_979\" style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/justrw.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Xmas01.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-979\" data-attachment-id=\"979\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/justrw.net\/blog\/2011\/01\/06\/happy-new-year-from-the-un-chef-returned-from-exile\/xmas01\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/justrw.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Xmas01.jpg?fit=580%2C435\" data-orig-size=\"580,435\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Xmas01\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Our Xmas Eve Buffet table before the onslaught of 20+ guests&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/justrw.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Xmas01.jpg?fit=300%2C225\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/justrw.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Xmas01.jpg?fit=580%2C435\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-979\" title=\"Xmas01\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/justrw.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Xmas01.jpg?resize=580%2C435\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/justrw.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Xmas01.jpg?w=580 580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/justrw.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/Xmas01.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-979\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our Xmas Eve Buffet table before the onslaught of 20+ guests<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As stated above, we kicked the season off in fine style with our now traditional open house.
