The food included a platter of crackers, meats and cheeses, most of which were bought at our local grocery store, or our favorite cheese shop here in town, pretzels with assorted mustards, "fried" ravioli (that were actually baked) in several varieties with marinara sauce, and phyllo cups filled with a home-concocted mixture of ground lamb and couscous flavored with sage and feta cheese. Desserts were homemade gingerbread cookies with ginger cream cheese frosting, and rum balls. this was also our first attempt at eggnog. Delicious! We made irish coffee drinks later on in the evening, which is my favorite thing:
Strong Coffee
Irish Whiskey (we like Red Breast)
Brown Sugar
Whipped Cream
In an 8-ounce footed glass coffee mug, add 1 tbs of brown sugar and 1 ounce of whiskey. Top with hot coffee, leaving a little space at the top. Stir well, top with whipped cream and enjoy!
I can't wait to do this one again in 2012...
