Oysters and champagne, a maple-glazed turkey (delayed but still tasty) and its nut and cranberry stuffing, a "tourtière" (traditional Québec meat pie), a mushroom pie, mash potatoes, aspargus, a savory feta cheese herb loaf and a fresh endive salad and the table is set. A layered creamy apple spice cake, a gingerbread house for the kids (a hoot!) and a pie to top off our indulging bellies. Kids opening their presents and braking the roof of the gingerbread house, and our friends toasting to our blessings!
Joyeux Noël!

I just wonder how you were able to get all the ingredients to prepare your Christmas feast! Feta cheese in Bejing? And oysters, turkey with cranberries... Are you friends with someone from the American embassy by any chance? I remember when I lived in Africa that our American friends could avail themselves of practically everything at their commissary, including car tires!
No need to have Embassy friends here, just a good eye at the market, a knowledge of which expat store has what, and a few extra $$ as these are not delicacies for the Chinese palate!
