I ate so much yesterday that I do not think I will need to eat today.
Eight kinds of Christmas cookies, homemade stuffed mushrooms, baked shrimp, bacon-wrapped scallops, smoked salmon on pumpernickel with capers, dill, and cream cheese, broiled asparagus, baked salmon, grilled beets, wild rice with mushrooms, roasted sweet potatoes, wine-stewed pears with thrice-boiled kumquats and fresh-whipped cream, cups upon cups of homemade eggnog, sweet white wine, champagne, imported Colombian coffee espresso-style with steamed milk, and a homemade creme brulee.

Seriously. I haven't eaten in over 18 hours and I am still so full I can only move sluggishly.

It was probably that ninth cup of eggnog that did it. I was good until then.

Oog.

Wow. Sounds amazing. We did hot-smoked salmon blinis, partridge (or was it pheasant) escabeche, honey-roast parsnips and carrots, potatoes in goose fat, an entire ham, a goose stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken with bacon on top (two stuffing layers, one a canberry, chestnut, bacon, date and orange, the other a fairly traditional forcemeat), Christmas pudding with brandy butter and six types of cheese with crackers.

Strangely, I'm three lbs lighter today than I was on the 24th. I may have a parasite.
