This is the last post of our menu and it is with a touch of sadness that I say goodbye for now… I enjoyed sharing this menu with all of you and I enjoyed all the comments and visits and stories, kindness and care. Thank you!

With this festive dessert  I wish you all a very joyeux Noël. May you all be just as festive in spirit!

2. Melt butter and dip the slices in the melted butter.
