I lied. I found time to throw together a Clementine Cake this morning. It looked a little dry when it was done, if you catch my drift, so I moistened the top with with a little Grand Marnier, maybe more than a little.

 Be Sure To Drink Your Ovaltine
Last of the Christmas preparations done. I salvaged the ham that, just 24 hours ago, resembled the Hindenburg. It had a mantle of burnt fat which I removed and the ham itself was unscarred. I made 1/8" slices and formed a rosette on a serving plate. Liz is doing a turkey and all the fixins'.
We got a whole bunch of her pictures up on Tuesday. Cordless tools made it a snap, the stepladder was an MVP too. I even managed to salvage the non-stick pan the ham was baked in, a few soakings and the 1/2" of ugly burned residue was gone.

Rayne has pointed out, correctly and indirectly, that I have not made a pate au foie gras, which is an extremely complex terrine. I have made a pate from foie gras, with some shaved truffle. It is a very good and rich simple pate. It would still be possible to slowly bake it in puff pastry and fill the spaces with aspic, like a pork pie. I might do that. Then again, we might gobble it down for Christmas dinner like depraved Dickensian bogtrotters.
