For me, the holidays are always centered around food and family....where there's food, there's family! Tonight my grandson and I will be preparing a couple of Buche de Noel logs for the freezer-IF they make it that far!  A chocolate log with Walnut Espresso Buttercream filling comes first, followed by a White Chocolate birch log, filled with Chambord Whipped Cream and Fresh Raspberries. I love to bake at night.....something about the oven being on when the sun goes down is very comforting to me. Plus, having Dhrruv here for the night makes it extra special.  He just got back from an extended stay in India with his folks, so a little "lovin' from the oven" is just what this 3-1/2 year old needs! He's already prepared....apron, wooden spoon, spatula and a big grin!  We'll post some pics of our finished products-off to do what we love....
