I went to a Relief Society (women ages 18 and up in our church) Christmas party last night. It was so wonderful to associate with other adults and have real conversations! In fact, the mention of kids was kept to a minimum, even. Amazing. Of course my boys couldn't handle that, so they had to wander out of the nursery and ask me to help them use the toilet twice (within 25 minutes) during the evening.
The food was scrumptious. I tasted crème brûlée for the first time in my life. Loved it! I need to go around and get recipes from people. A gal brought a jello (for a church dinner, go figure...) parfait sort of dish that involved a meringue and cranberries. Yum!
For the program some of the gals were asked to share what they do to bring the Christmas spirit into their homes. Then at the end we were treated to this beautiful slide show that wonderfully depicts the true meaning of Christmas. If you feel like your Christmas cheer could use a boost (or even if you don't feel that way), watch it!

Beautiful! I was able to see this display at the AZ temple visitors center when we were there this summer. Beautiful is the only word to describe.
Creme brulee is the food of heaven, and actually quite easy to make. It does require a kitchen torch (or a plumber torch if you don't want to get all fancy) to make the sugar crusty and luscious. We've tried broiling it, and that turns the custard to mush. It's worth the 20 buck investment...hey Dave, if you're reading, head to Bed Bath and Beyond and you'll find one. It'd make a loverly Christmas gift for your loverly wife!
