This last week has been rather busy for me too. As a member
of the local choir – The Whistler Singers – we have been in great demand this
week. From final rehearsals in preparation for our choir concert – A Whistler
Christmas - on Monday, followed by a performance at the Fairmont Chateau (with
the children’s choir) to welcome Santa and finally the 31st Annual
Christmas Eve Carol Service in the ballroom at the Westin, in front of about
1,500 people with more at the back in the foyer! I was rather hoarse by the end
of it.
In addition, I've been busy in the kitchen too. Making four
lots of duck confit, followed by Cassoulet, lots of different soups, baking
cakes and biscuits and making nibbles for when the skiers come in as well as
normal meals in the evening. Today it’s going to be filet of pork in sour cream
pastry (aka boiled baby to some of our friends due to the unappetising look of
it before its cooked) so the bottles of bubbles aren't coming out until I've finished with
knives! I've learned my lesson in recent years and have the scars to prove it!
Kevin found a Christmas tree on the slopes yesterday and
brought it back to the apartment. I did enquire as to whether it was one he had
‘created’ during one of his acrobatic somersault moments, but alas, no. I made
a stand for it and decorated it with some mardi gras beads I had brought with
me.
As you can see, it fits in quite well with the table décor J
Anyway, time to go and create some mayhem in the kitchen.
Merry Christmas everyone
