FollowEvery Christmas we have a big, festive dinner here at Chalet Iltis. A couple of years ago some friends brought us a Christmas pudding from the UK, but try as we might we never had sufficient appetite to eat it after the huge main course. Last night we were determined to polish it off, so we opted not to have any starters, and I made rather fewer roast potatoes than usual. We had a lovely dinner.
Sure enough, we still had enough room for the pudding. Colin soaked it with a good slug of homemade (here in Wengen) Plum brandy. It burned beautifully.
Afterwards we had our traditional game of Yahtzee – Ali was victorious.
It made a nice change to find that it wasn’t snowing when we woke up this morning. We hauled all the empty bottles up to the recycling centre and treated ourselves to lunch at Cafe Waldschluecht. Breaking news: it’s snowing again.
