Kicking off the morning of Christmas Eve in Seattle, Jason and I went to brunch at Joule.

So good!  Their brunch menu included a choice of an entree and access to their buffet both.

The buffet selections were emmental and truffle cheese spread on fig crackers, a nutty-stuffingesque squash dish, wild mushroom pinwheels, roasted carrots with goat cheese, apple-fig sticky pudding, sweet potato purée, and, my favorite, jasmine yogurt with crunchy quinoa, cranberries, and honey.

As if that wasn’t good enough, here’s my entree:

Green curry French toast with cranberry-pear chutney and creme fraiche.

Excellent food with excellent company!
