Santa Claus and Glorious Food

This is a birthday cake. See those tiny little wild boars and deer? Amazingly none were eaten by accident. Or on purpose, for that matter.

Dear reader,

I don't know if it's Christmas or the surroundings but everyone seems to be obsessed with food these days. Scarcely a day goes by without someone making something special and oh-so-tasty. Not that I'm complaining, mind.

Anyway, first things first: SANTA CLAUS CAME! I know, I know, kinda early. But he has a lot to do these days so I thought it was lovely of him to drop by the village and bring us all some candy. He brought a marching band too, great fun.

Minions! No, wait. Those have a different color...

And we've been making food. Ourselves. From scratch!

Outdoor bakery, makes the bread taste double good.

Fresh pasta. If I didn't know better I'd think Transportation is trying to poach Catering's name.

There was also the infamous Lomo al Trapo lunch. Basically, a piece of meat wrapped in a tea towel and thrown into the fire. What could possibly go wrong?!

Everyone was a quite skeptical at this point. Pizza delivery phone numbers surreptitiously at the ready.

Oh and we are supposed to eat this now? Ok...

So soft, a baby could eat it. They wouldn't let me prove it with BabyPaw though, spoilsports...

They've assured me this is just the beginning. There's goose to come and cookies, cakes and more bread. I love Christmas!!!

Happy holidays everyone!
