This is our favorite time of the year around Cannonsburg. It’s a time
when we have the opportunity to see friends and families gather
together to enjoy each other’s company. We hope that all of you
have been blessed with a great year of special memories. When we
look back at this year it is filled with many exciting changes around
the village that we hope you have been able to see. With the
addition of the Cannonsburg Trail extension, the paved Honey Creek
Inn parking lot, the new parking lot and park and many other
happenings in the village, we can truly say it has been special year
for us. More than those cosmetic changes, though, what has made
this year special is all of you. Without the support from each and
every one of you, Cannonsburg would not be the community it is
today. Thank you to all of you and we wish each of you a safe and
enjoyable holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
The ice candles are truly a beautiful spectacle to
see. There origin can be traced back to old
Scandinavia where they would place a similar
type of ice candle outside of each house so that
St. Nicholas would be able to find each house!
Our candles will be lit Christmas Eve around 6
pm and will stay lit through Christmas morning so
that Santa can find his way to the village. We
hope you can stop on through the village either
at the beginning or end of your Christmas Eve
celebrations! (Candles are lit and stay lit weather permitting)
THE VILLAGE IS

friends will be taking a trip

meal during the next month for you. Come on over
to Cannonsburg, take a deep breath and relax for
a moment at the HCI. Stop in on Wednesday eve-

December 4th & 5th France
Beef Bourguignon Puff Pastry - Beef Bourguignon is a
traditional French stew that uses bacon fat to brown
beef that is then stewed in Burgundy wine and beef
broth, all filled into casserole dishes and cooked to a
golden brown.
Coquilles Saint-Jacques - Traditionally a starter
course we turned this scallop, mushroom, and Gru-
yere bit of heaven into an entrée by plating it over
Chateau Potatoes, Asparagus, and a Foie Gras Gas-
trique.
December 11th & 12th Latin America
Pavo - Succulent roasted turkey breast glazed in
Mole Pablano. Our mole takes two days to make
and uses three different types of chilis, Ibarra choco-
late, and a list of about twenty other ingredients. It is
a little spicy and very deep in flavor.
Bacalao - There are many different recipes for this all
over the Spanish speaking world from South America
to Spain. It is a salted Cod stew served with pota-
toes, almonds, Manzanilla olives, Guindilla chile, and
pimentos del piquillo. My version is a little thicker,
more like a hash.
December 18th & 19th Japan Ponzu Duck - A light citrus glazed duck breast served
with grated Daikon Oroshi and Hari scallions.
HCFC - In Japan Kentucky Fried Chicken is the num-
ber one Christmas dish. Yes, I said it, KFC. They order
their Christmas dinner up to three months in ad-
vance! Since I do not know the Colonel’s Secret
Recipe, we are making the Honey Creek’s Fried
Chicken Recipe. Boneless marinated chicken thighs
fried in 12 herbs and spices (one more than those
other guys).
December 26th Jamaica Curry Goat - A very traditional dish in this region.
Cubed goat stewed in yellow curry and spiced up
with Scotch Bonnet peppers, and served over white
rice.
Curry Lobster - Fresh grilled lobster tail laced with red
curry, tomato, and scallion. Served over white rice.
Tis’ the season to be
merry! Or at least so busy
that it is hard to find time
