Christmas Spirits

A while back, Nick made a baked brie for one of our fam­ily gath­er­ings, and it was a big hit. He made one again last sum­mer, and my sis­ters and I took notes. Today, we exper­i­mented with a cou­ple vari­a­tions on his recipe, and they worked out pretty well. When Co Kim, a fam­ily friend, and her kids came over, she com­pli­mented us on our cook­ing, and I said this was just the test­ing grounds for real hol­i­day cel­e­bra­tions, which in my fam­ily always means food for days. Lit­er­ally. My sis­ters are excited to bring them to Min­nesota and see if they get approval from the head chef. :)

But any­way, if food isn’t what gets you in the spirit of the sea­son, per­haps actual spir­its will help. The drink recipes are either renamed or slightly mod­i­fied ver­sions of shooter sta­ples, but they def­i­nitely wouldn’t be the first things to get a Christ­mas white­wash. My only com­plaint is the drinks aren’t a closer match to the tra­di­tional gifts of the twelve days of Christ­mas. I want to see some­one attempt to take 364 shots. Or is it 78? I was never com­pletely clear on how the song worked. But either way… you’ll have a good time.
