Merry Christmas dear readers! On these holidays where being with family is so important I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for continually shunning social interaction with those very family members so you spend time at your computer reading my blog (and if you're a homeless guy in a library probably looking at porn). All kidding aside though I just wanted to say I hope all of your have a very merry Christmas and to make sure you eat enough food and sweets over today and tomorrow to almost induce a coma.
As far as Christmas traditions around our house Christmas Eve is usually an informal gathering with my immediate family with a gift exhange and usually some ordered in pizza. I have a feeling we're not the only ones that take that route on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day all the family comes over and we eat a big traditional meal which I am very much looking forward to.
I know we don't always get tons of comments here at RDERF, but if you are so inclined feel free to leave one saying what your holiday traditions are, what you'll be eating, or if you got any badass kitchen/cooking stuff as a gift this year. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
Happy ChristmaKwaanNukahNewYear!
ReplyDeleteMy only foodcentric gift so far was the latest cookbook from Lidia Bastianich, the Italian Grandmother I never had. So far it looks great and I'm enjoying learning more about the many regions of Italy.
And I finally have Pink Floyd's "Pulse" on DVD (it was one of the first CDs I owned).
The Goods Eats recipe for 'City Ham' was a hit, btw. Gingersnap crust was killer.
Happy Christmas RDERF - hope you enjoyed your pizza and time with your family! I gorged myself on prime rib with my family on Christmas Eve before stuffing myself with turkey, ham and all the fixings on Christmas Day with hub's family. Here's to 2012 and sharing our food adventures!
