This was the question that was asked by my mother every day when we spoke. We both enjoyed talking about food.
She passed away in 2006. I miss someone asking that question.
So this is where I will tell whomever what I am making for dinner.
Again we are alone. We are alone but we did Zoomed Christmas Cocktails with Lenore and Ralph.
Usually, on Christmas, I go nuts with appetizers for our Cocktail Hour. Seeing it was only the two of us I scaled back dramatically.
Six little penguins this year. Store-bought crackers with cheese.
I was not going to let COVID screw up my Christmas Roast tradition. I got a Standing Rib Roast with just 2 ribs. I did the 450˚ for 20 minutes and finished up at 350˚. Not bad. But I did miss eating with Lenore and Ralph.
Merry Christmas to all and good night to 2020.

Fasten your seat belts, but not too tight as there is a lot of food to drool over!
I think I have mentioned previously that my favorite meal
of the year is Christmas Eve dinner. My sister and brother-in-law pull
out all the stops. The sauce, the fresh pasta, the stuffed squid, the
salads and the fried fish and amazing wine pairings... see I told you
loosen up the seat belt....
Christmas Eve At My Sister's House
Homemade Pasta with Fish Sauce
Fried Baccalá Balls and Arancini di Riso
Baccalá Salad, I like the spicy one!
Broccoli!
Fried Smelts
Tilapia with Lemon Caper Sauce (I took photo before adding the sauce)
Stuffed Squid, absolutely amazing!
And Cookies....
My new favorites are the Lime Bars,
forget lemon this is the way to go!
I would like to sent out a THANK YOU
to Chris who helped pull the Christmas Day meal together and
yes even a thank you to Archie who stayed hidden all day
and Lucy who supplied comic relief.
