MENU FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 21, 2009
It would appear that we have a White Christmas this year, given the “Blizzard of 09”. So it is time for good, hearty, festive food. With, of course, traditions. Standing Rib and Crab Imperial being two of these. Rumaki is an old favorite of my husbands which I only trot out on special occasions.Special lunches/brunches as well. Gumbo, Waffles with Berries, Jasper White’s wonderful Seafood Rarebit which I do with shrimp (and of course, beer, cheddar and Worcestershire), Baked Eggs with Herbs and Parmesan. No time here for Bologna Sandwiches……And of course, calories consumed at Christmas time don’t count.Our tree is up and decorated. Some years we do two trees – one large one with the many ornaments I’ve collected over the years. And one small tree decorated with white lights and Waterford ornaments – at least one for each year we’ve been married. Very pretty and very special. This we do every year. The larger only when we are entertaining.
