MERRY CHRISTMAS...A LITTLE LATE

We had another fantastic Christmas as I hope you all did. It started Christmas Eve at Jen and Kevin's house. We had the traditional Italian seven fish dishes and then some. It started off with fried Calamari, sauteed mussels with fennel and spicy crab dip plus other assorted appetizers. Then we moved on to the main course which consisted of Kevin's salt crusted whole red snapper, fettuccine with scallops & shrimp in bechamel sauce, linguine fra diavlo with lobster, baccala, stuffed Italian peppers and broccoli rabe. I think I may have missed something? What a feast, Nonna would have been proud. It's funny how it takes about three of us to make one meal that only took one of her. I don't know how she did it but I'm glad she did.

But wait...there's more!
For dessert Jen ordered a Buche De Noel all the way from Italia, it was delicious, along with some Christmas cookies and we finally called it a night.

Then we started it all over again the next day!

I will post pictures later as well as continue the Christmas story.

Ladies Lunch

It's been a long time over due but I finally had all the girls over for lunch. We use to get together more often but we've been slacking off. Now, a few years and many more kids later the crew came over for some fun. I want to thank them all for coming and all the lovely gifts, mostly wine which is great since my uncle's get very concerned when my wine rack is empty.

Eileen came over Friday night to help me get ready. Now some of you may be thinking she must have been really unprepared if Eileen was her idea of help. She was the best sous chef I ever had. I made her sift flour and powdered sugar which might have been a first for her. She also helped me clean up which was great since I was feeling a little under the weather.

The usual suspects came and we had a great time.
