Holiday season get-togethers

Scallops w/salmon mousse in balsamic reduction
One of my favourite things about the holiday season is getting together with friends and family. It doesn't matter if you don't see each other often - as soon as you get together, the conversation picks up where you last left off.

Mushroom risotto
Last night, I had dinner with my friend M and her husband the Food Fella. I was treated to a number of yummy dishes, including, scallops topped with salmon mousse in a balsamic reduction, mushroom risotto, and chicken with roasted and grilled veggies in a espagnole sauce (see pretty pics!).

Over wine, dinner, dessert and then more wine, we talked and caught up on each others' lives.

The holidays give all of us the perfect excuse to get back in touch. If you haven't already, reach out :)
