Creativity comes in many forms. This time of year when the air is cold and the garden is dormant, our home is our inspiration. Whether through writing, cooking, crafting or entertaining, we stay active even during these cold and dark months until spring comes again and our ideas 'bloom'! We had the incredible opportunity around the holidays to join a friend's family during their annual tradition of making pate. Pate is a rich, spiced combination of liver, wrapped in bacon and baked in a steam bath. It is wonderful served as a spread on crackers accompanied by grainy mustard, onion and small gherkin pickles. Here is a pictorial reveiw of the process and a recipe at the end.
Many hands make light work...a glass of wine makes it a party!
