Christmas has started I love it. We were supposed to spends the holidays with hubbies family in London, but couldn't get the dog in because of some blood tests which the UK will abolish from the 1st of January and that's a week to go. Too bad, but it give us the opportunity to spend Christmas eve with one of our favorite people in the world: Bennie!
Ben invited us to his house boat for an easy comfort food diner, and that was all we needed. Appetizer: taco chips with melted cheese guacamole, chili and creme fraiche. We really attacked the plate! Diner course 2: home made wonderful delicious tomato red paprika soup with lots of chili and lots of ginger. This is my favorite soup in the world (want to try it: go to Puccini's where Ben is in the kitchen or book a night at his houseboat and he might just make you some). So delicious we had 2 big bowls! Main course: warm smoked salmon salad with grilled mini potatoes and grilled green asparagus. yum yum. Salmon came from the very, very best place in Amsterdam to get smoked stuff: Franks Smoke House. Once you've tasted his salmon you will not be wanting any other! I made braised pears with ice cream for desert, but we were really to full to eat another bite. Just some cheese and red port and the evening was complete. Thank you Ben!
