Thought it was Christmas eve dinner tonight but the person cooking changed it to tomorrow which doubles up with other family Christmas dinner. So thats a mess but now it's chinese takeout tonight.
Chinese takeout was tradition on Christmas every for us from the 70's up till my digestion couldn't take it anymore, fond nostalgic Christmas memories.
I'm in the car while my wife runs in to grab our Xmas eve Chinese takeout. It's a nice tradition since we end up cooking up a storm on Christmas Day.
Crispy Hawaiian tofu with egg-fried rice. Normally eat it with regular rice but this is a special day and husband wanted to treat me since I've not been at all well these last few weeks. Bloody love egg-fried rice.
Now absolutely stuffed and feel like I never want to eat again, although he's already prepping our two-person Christmas dinner for tomorrow so I won't tell him that!
Slow cooked pork ribs with boiled potatoes and sour cabbage. It's a tradition to the point of pretty much being mandated by law at this point.
Yummy
My family has a tradition of following my Nonna's old family recipe for homemade pasta and sauce.
I'm having lobster tail, mushie peas and unclel Ben's rice. It's not the most elaborate meal but it's comforting and delicious.
Sushi tonight, but I'm making French onion soup for whenever over the next few days. Always better the next day.
Aw yes. Is it cold where you are? French onion soup is the best in chilly weather.
Yep. 40F and rain for a few days here. Need that warmth. Happy holidays!
gonna play some dino nugget roulette. some were recalled a couple of times recently.. dunno if the bags in the freezer are 'ok' or not. don't care, but i think they predate the recalls.
Gnocchi with cream sauce, one of my favorites.
Russian salad and flamenquin.
In respite from the prep cooking I've been doing and the big meal tomorrow we are ordering pizza tonight.
chinese takeout, so original !

I'm on my own this year, since my wife is out of town. Friends invited me to have Christmas eve dinner with them last night. I brought vegan Swedish meatballs and rye bread (I made them both). They had a lot of good vegan and non-vegan food there. We also drank tequila and blackberry moonshine :). Tonight, I'm having leftovers, and I'm also making some cardamom buns.
Family tradition is pizza and wings after church on Christmas Eve!

Typical dinner - fish soup, fried carp with potato salad.
I really like it, each year we have lots of potato salad and strong soup.
I had noodles and tinned mackerel for Xmas dinner (I live alone).
I plan on going to the supermarket for vegan Ben & Jerries and Mr Kipling iced Xmas slices Boxing day. I'll eat both in one sitting then fall asleep on the sofa.
That's one of my favorite meals! Merry Christmas!
