We didn’t have a morning present exchange this year. Instead, Mom and Leigh went to brunch and the three of us headed to Rockland Lake (for the third day in a row!) for a nice winter walk. We met back at Sour Cherry Farm around 5 for bloody marys, hibiscus margaritas, and a tamale supper.
A pitcher of bloody marys:
And a table set with Christmas linens:
Looks like we’re ready for company!

Hors d’oeuvres.
Hibiscus Margaritas.
Recipe for hibiscus margaritas is here.
Mom ordered the tamales from the Texas Tamale Warehouse.
And I served Rancho Gordo’s Pinto Beans:
And Butter Lettuce Salad with Creamy Tarragon Poppyseed Dressing:
The table is set with hot sauce:
Supper on a plate:
We drank the margies with dinner, rather than wine.
Crazy, I know! But delicious!
Boo and Grandmom enjoy their tamales:
Sondra and Leigh are shocked at something:
Greg looks right:
And for dessert? The delicious baba au rhum:
Merry Christmas everybody!
