A trial run for christmas and an attempt at fancy plating. Pork belly, roast fennel sauce, pumpkin puree, pickled green apple, sage. Not super happy with the pork belly texture, the skin wasn't really all that crispy, but the flavors definitely worked.

A mysterious package from China arrived... and this was inside! Since Santa @Far mentioned there was another package to come after I'd gotten all of my books, I'm gonna presume this is it, despite the lack of description in the package otherwise. Thanks so much for your generosity!

They're all here @Far ! Looks like I have some reading to do over Christmas break. Thanks a bunch!

Package 2 has arrived, @Far . Third book (it was a trilogy, right?) still seems to be underway. I'll post another pic when they're all here.

That's correct, it was the only one. I'm working from home the rest of the week, though, so I'll be around when they show up.
