Santa Claus melon can't possibly be kosher.

As long as it's goodwill among people rather than the jolly man from the North Pole... sure it can!

Santa Claus melon is closer to honeydew than cantaloupe, but white, also very sweet and juicy.

No sunflower seeds in the salad after all, but did use some basil.

The non-ratatouille worked quite well.

Plenty of leftover sweet potatoes, enough that some went to lunch chez Imperfects.

I should've added more ginger spread to the chicken marinade; it was ok, but too unremittingly sweet overall.

I left the cake in a few minutes longer than I'd wanted.

The apricot liqueurs apparently do quite well poured over cake :-).

The apples weren't included after dinner after all.
