GOOD TO COOK AGAIN

I must be on the mend. Seafood sauce- shrimps and clams with tomato passata- on some linguine was a good lunch for Barb and me. I can balance on my walker so I was okay. Now what can I make today?

AN EARLY CHRISTMAS EVE DINNER BLENDING TWO CULTURES

Combining traditions can be fun. Barb and I will spend our Christmas Eve dinner alone this year. So one daughter Sonya  and her husband hosted a family dinner last Sunday December 21 with everyone contributing some food items and fun. Two sauces- Sonya made the meat sauce with sausage while I made the seafood sauce. I also made the fresh homemade egg noodle pasta everyone loves. We do have to be careful with the seafood as one grandchild has a seafood and fish allergy. So the reason to combine the traditions. Chicken balls and sauce were brought by Natasha and Domi for the festive meal.

Lots of seafood too!

A festive table!

A variety of veggies such as peas, broccoli, as well as olives and other appetizers with dips. Of course, dessert for one and all. A cheesecake and apple cake!

Cookie decorating by the children.

A fun creative way to serve fruit to children!

So a dish with pasta with seafood sauce and meat sauce symbolizes the blend of both worlds, doesn't it. Have to love the Christmas season! Still more eating to go.
