The inside of your Bûche looks like pate. Did you cheat? I love the strawberry floating in your champagne.

Merry Christmas from beautiful New Jersey!

Raspberry. Didn't cheat: that is the recipe for this one - solid chestnut.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I too thouht it was a faux pate log. Just wonderful. Have fun everyone and enjoy your carefully planned and well executed Christmas dinners. I sure enjoyed a peek into your kitchens and seeing the menus unfold. Amy

Faux pate log...very funny, Amy.

Alas, JEK, my French is not good enough to enjoy this recipe. Your finished product looks as beautiful as the professional one!

I will be spending the morning pulling out my pizzelle iron and making a batch for my family dinner today.

Looks wonderful. Reminds me that before I went on a somewhat low fat diet Phyllis use to do a Strawberry log for me on special occasions. I think the next occasion will be soon. And she made real whipped cream.

Wow, most impressive! You could be a pastry chef on St. Barth in your retirement. Did they taste as wonderful as they looked?

Those potatoes look familiar. The only thing I have left is some ham- I just got back from food shopping. My butcher was giving away some Bacala salad that he made. That's my lunch.
