I don't usually post my photo but eating with family brought me some opportunities.
On my real birthday I went for brunch at the Markham Station restaurant in Richmond Hill,
I ordered their breakfast special.

Now that's a platter full of food, Hash browns, scrambled eggs, french toast, sausages, and a slice of cantaloup.
Happy Birthday Barb.

January has several celebrations and a chance for good eating.
Lots of cake.
Looking forward to summer peaches. As with this Kerr recipe of peach and proscuitto bites.
Canascione at Easter.
Of Course a cake for me.

I am now in the habit of having a picture of the Dinners served.
Christmas dinner for 11.
Appetizers to start.
Christmas Crackers. A blessing on the meal.
Turkey, Italan sausage, bread stuffing with sage, gravy, mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, brussel sprouts, flat beans, roasted red peppers, sweet potatoes, and cranberry sauce.
Drinks of choice- beer, wine, water, sprite, diet pepsi.
Dessert was a chocolate yule log, cream cake, ice cream, sugar cookies, fudge and coffee.
A good time with family and good eating.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Adolph was an amazing cook. Loved his many dishes.
But Christmas Eve was special. He learned to make all the seafood dishes from his Mom
Then added some new ones of his own.
A community group that I attend regularly had the Annual Christmas evening.
Richmond Hill Historical Society has monthly meetings with speakers. Our December meeting is a Christmas party with some entertainement.
On December 9, 2025 it was a group from the Program Director's church.
Christmas songs.
The food was a pot luck of sandwiches, goodies and drinks.

I like to make a pickle platter. The red and white item is grape tomatoe with bocincini halves.
A cheese platter with salami and kobassa slices. Then cracker with a dip. The bell dish has hot peppers.
Trays of sandwiches, veggie platter and fruit platter were purchased from Longos.
All in all a fun evening.

Adolph and I always debuted over the amount of salt in food.
I rarely salted and he liked to salt more.
He always teased that I would get a goiter. Well I did not get one.
I always said you can add salt to food on the table but if too much could not take it away.
To salt the water for pasta means the pasta does not need to be salted on the plate.
I add cinnamon in baking instead of salt.
I add other spices for taste.
For good health, too much salt is not good.
So to salt or not to salt is the question.

Birthdays bring the opportunity to eat cake.
Every cake over the years gives us fun food to eat.
