Tea Eggs garnished with Caviar

Spicy Tomato Aspic with Cottage Cheese
Old-Fashioned Ambrosia
A Bowl of Smoking Bishop
Jim made the punch, of course and Alyson and Jamie helped with the Ambrosia. My Mom assembled the appetizers and helped me plate the Aspic salad.
The tea eggs and the asparagus are a nod to James' former homeplace, China; and the aspic was something we used to have on every Christmas table in my childhood. I made mine spicy with horseradish and black pepper. It tasted a lot like a Bloody Mary, which was just what I wanted.
Recipes tomorrow. The dishwasher is chugging away with the second post-dinner batch (there were two before dinner also) and dirty dishes still in the sink and on the floor.
The lamb bones have been simmered for stock and Mommo took Ambrosia and Roasted Veggies home. To bed, to bed...snowstorm due tomorrow.
