Hope everyone had a Wonderful ThanksGiving dinner and a Blessed Hanukkah Festival of Lights.

Whats on the menu for the next Holiday for everyone?

We do the Seven Fishes at my Italian brothers from another Mother on Christmas Eve.

Then we do a Christmas morning Breakfast at my house followed by a huge dinner some how later in the day consisting of a baked ham and Lazagna.


What a Feast.

Have not yet decided yet Dues...but will shout out when we decide!

Spending the Holidays with the ones who are most important is Most Important.

Im sure whatever is on the menu will be great.

Enjoy Hood.

We never did the fish on Christmas Eve growing up in my Family but I do enjoy it with Family Now.

There is so much food in my house ready to go.

We will be feasting for a week.

Bought a standing rib roast(bone in prime rib) 2 days ago, gonna rub it w/ rosemary & garlic , maybe some fresh grated horseradish,,keep it simple..stepdaughter 's gonna do 2 starches & veggies , told her 2 suprise us. Everyone out there Have a Very Merry Christmas!!

Wife makes the pizzagaina today but we save that for tomorrow and will have salmon tonight.

I think i know what that is, is the the cake with almond or something?

Someone bring that every year , it comes in like a pizz box, very good.

It's a mix of italian cheeses, italian meats and eggs. Proper name is Pizza Rustica.

We had the fish next door last night , everything was wonderful.

This morning our traditional Christmas breakfast bake and Bagels with homemade veggie cream cheese
The breakfast bake is hash browns with pepper onion eggs bacon and cheese, mixed into a casserole dish and baked for 1 1/2.

My nieces go crazy for it, i indulge in the bagels on Christmas morning since I do not usually have them.

Spiral Ham & Mac & Cheese for dinner with an amazing side of Asian Broccoli with cashews and tempura asparagus.

Merry Christmas All

Tempura aspararus &oriental brocc on Christmas ? , it's awesome 2 b different Dues ,

Hi Ya Hood… yes …not sure how we made these asian style dishes a part of the holiday table but I’m sure its something to do with some of the special relations my Mary and I have made throughout our lives…good people no many cultures.

[Kathleen &I love all foods from all parts of the globe...I in particular love Pho 4 breakfast...Some American foods suck sometimes...who the f..ck wants 2 eat bacon & eggs all the time???...or meatloaf & mashed pot????...geeeez..I say ..get out of the house & go 2 the turkish restaurant up the street...know what I mean??..

Yes Sir, I get it….I used to do it more often since clients always wanted to branch out and even go exotic sometimes.

Now we are more geared to how creative we can be at home.
I have not been in Manhattan in over three years… i was dining in city at least once a week at one point if not every day three years prior to that.

I dont miss it but I do like to think of the places we frequented.

Getting ready for Sunday going to the local pork store….love getting the lamb and dry sausage including the suprasatta , olives cheese and monacotti
