Christmas Eve

It’s Christmas Eve !

I love celebrating this holiday for so many reasons… okay, mainly three that can be summarized very briefly; 1) spending time with my family, 2) gifts overload ! and 3) FOOD of course 😀

I drool in advance thinking about what my mom will cook. I like eating well, but I’m a terrible cook, so homemade plates by mom are like the Graal for me. We had quite a paleo dinner tonight with smoked salmon, foie gras and snails as first course. Then an amazing french Raclette ! We sat around a grill placed on the table, and had the choice between beef / veal and duck served with warm potatoes and melted cheese.

So good ! Highly caloric but it’s seasonal appropriate 🙂
Finished with macarons from one of my favorite restaurant, (I recommend to anyone who visits Paris to eat there at least once) Café Pouchkine – all right, I have to admit I stole a couple macarons before we even started dinner because they were looking so delicious in their pretty little box in the fridge, I couldn’t resist 😛

That little infraction was totally worth it by the way : I love giving up to my guilty pleasures, especially when I really shouldn’t, makes it just more fun and enjoyable. Anyway, I wasn’t planning on writing a blog entry tonight because I’m feeling super tired and full of that awesome food; a good night sleep is all I can wish for right now, but I missed blogging so much during my three-weeks break (that I needed for personal reasons), I couldn’t help myself from sharing a quick update.

Have a Merry Christmas, xoxox !
