We made it! All 12 courses. Started cooking at 1:00 pm. First course served at 2:40, dinner finished at 8:56 p.m. Really civilized and wonderful - feasting versus gorging. And so nice to finish on a savory note.
We can take credit for neither the cheese nor the crackers. The cheese was a really nice Roquefort - Roquefort Gabriel Doulet la Petit Cave. Creamy and sharp and with a clean aftertaste. The crackers were Mulini Reali brand, Garden Chive flavor. They are hand-rolled, which I think did make a difference in that it added some textural interest.
And the cat is our younger, Alex. He's a good dude, and has a compromised sense of smell, which is why he can pose sitting upright behind the cheese without any trouble at all.
So now it's time to sit back and pat myself on my full (but not unpleasantly so) belly and call it a night.
Merry Christmas!!
