Christmas Eve

Wow, already Christmas Eve! Tonight I'm going to Colin's place with Buddy. Anthony and his sister, Natalie, are making a rapée pie (Acadian dish) a chicken mixture sandwiched between layers of grated potato, baked in the oven just as our ancestors did.
To start the evening we had some wine, chocolates with some chips and dip... At around 11nish we had the famous rapée pie which at second glance didn't look appetizing, but man was it ever yummy!! It was baked to perfection. According to Anthony, they had put it too long in the oven but I thought it was perfect, since I had not had it in such a long time. Later that night Colin came back from spending Christmas eve with his family and we had fun drinking eggnog with rum and chatting with Natalie about celebrating NYE. Can you believe that we're soon to be in 2006!

Good times had by all!
