Nothing too exciting on the Jensen home front for Christmas this year; we just stayed home and had our own celebration. Christmas Eve we enjoyed a
raclette dinner. It's a Swiss tradition (although we are not Swiss) where you have a tabletop grill to cook potatoes, meats, and various ingredients and then melt cheese over your portion in your own little "skillet."
It is sort of like fondue, and is way fun and yummy. We tried shrimp (a big hit) this time,
brussel sprouts (NOT a big hit--but hey, a mom's gotta try!), and the traditional combo of potatoes, pickles, carrots. We also had some ground beef that I browned with some sun-dried tomatoes and onions.
Everyone enjoys making their own combination of things and then trying out the different cheeses to melt on top. This time we had Gouda,
Fontina,
Jarlsburg, and Muenster.
Bon Appetit!

Breaking news today from all my friends in Las Vegas--it snowed! And not just your sissy flakes, it really came down. And as of 8:00 pm Mountain time it was STILL snowing! Of course, the town is practically shut down because there are no plows or salt trucks to take care of the roads.
