Christmas treats
The first round of Christmas candy has been made. They are delicious dark chocloate truffles, with roasted chopped pumpkin seeds, and coffee - rolled in chocolate powder. I have ordered my boyfriend to pick me up more chocolate on his way over here later tonight (8 bars) so I can make another few batches of truffles (with e.g. orange). I have been thinking about making some saffron flavoured, I wonder how that would turn out. It is chocolate, so it is hard to ruin. Chocolate is goooooood, and saffron is goooood, so perhaps it would work out. I guess I'll find out.
I have also looked up more recipes for Christmas food I'll make. I'll make two kinds of snacks; pumpkin seeds roasted in chili-oil and salt, and chick peas roasted with wasabi. I will also make chick pea bulgur with dried tomatoes and basil, and some hummus. Also, I am in charge of meatball making - untraditionally with red onions, olives and feta cheese.
There'll be so much food - I really hope the three American's will join the celebrations, those people are famous for eating lots, right?

Christmas is a great time to eat and we Americans do have legendary appetites. Your truffles sound scrumptuous. My wife concocts a party mix this time of years comprised of Crispix (rice and corn chex cereal), little pretzels, mixed nuts and baked in a buttery sauce that I particularly love.
By the way, is Cute Cate related to Smelly Cat?
Best to you, Arlen
My truffles were truely amazing - I have to give them to all my friends (the best way to go on a diet: make your friends fatter!). I am sure I'll eat enough. I have bought home all the ingredients for Gingerbread dough, so tomorrow I'll fix that up, and hopefully friday I can make the best Gingerbread house ever.
I cannot be sure that Cute Cat isn't related to Smelly Cat, but to me it seems unlikely at least. First of all, he doesn't smell bad, he smells lovely, cat fresh! Plus Smelly Cat lives in New York, and I don't think Cute Cat has ancestors there. And wait, by the way, Smelly Cat isn't even a real cat, just fiction. So I would have to go for no, no they're not related =).
Your wife seems to be a real magnificent woman, making all the nice stuff you like!
