The Best Laid Plans...

Gruyere Cheese Puffs
We had the best intentions. Plans were laid to cover a 6-course meal with blog posts after each one. However, the weather was perfect today and the water a particularly beautiful shade of turquoise. That's when island fever struck with all the usual symptoms. We felt hot, restless, an inability to concentrate and a compulsion to walk on white sand. We had no choice but to flee the kitchen immediately and rush directly to the nearest  beach—Reef Bay. There, while listening to the soothing sounds of ocean waves, sipping iced ginger ale and resting in beach chairs, we recovered. Consequently, it was early evening when we took on the task of Christmas dinner. Here are a few pictures of the results. The rest we'll have to share tomorrow. It appears as though the Beef Wellington course and the flourless PavĂ© Chocolate cake have brought on another medical emergency: coma.
