Christmas treats and spirits

Over Christmas I visited my family in Grand Rapids, Michigan. While I was there I made a few fires in my Grandparents fireplace. I also made cocktails with my uncle, and I received a chocolate and confections cookbook. 

Every night I made a fire with my grandpa and on the last night I made a extra big fire to roast some marshmallows. My papa said that the marshmallow I roasted for him was the best marshmallow he had every had. The outside was finished with a lovely honey color.

Also on the last night I made a really yummy cock-tail with my Uncle Paul. The grownups said it was amazing. It was called an Elderflower Martini, made with St. Germaine Liquore. 

My Aunt Jen got me a really cool cookbook named Chocolates And Confections from the Culinary Institute of America. For New Years Eve my mom and I are going to make a dessert from the book that has chocolate Fondant covered with a mint filling. This dessert is named Mint Patties. We will post the recipe and pictures after we make it.
