We decided not to tell any of our Swiss friends that we actually melt your chocolate, so that we can dip chunks of pound cake in it - but what they won't know . . .
I've also found this cool new way to serve salad. Too bad I don't have a picture of the one Joe made for Christmas Eve dinner - but basically it was a huge platter of salad with various vegetables. I think the important trick it to par boil some of the rawer vegetables (e.g. green beans and carrots) and to also dress each individual vegetable with a little dressing. That way peoplecould choose exactly what they wanted - even Patrick 'I don't eat salad' Cobb actually had some of it. Shocking.
