3. Pot Roast

with gold potatoes, carrots, celery and onion. Leftovers, but good.

Ducky was confused by cooked versus raw carrots at first, Now he knows right away to gulp the cooked ones down and run with the raw to lie down and crunch.

TJ is going to work shifts tonight and tomorrow night, so it's just me and the Duckster tonight.

Going to my in-laws for a traditional Christmas Eve dinner along with 12 other folks. There will be fried haddock, parsley potatoes, cheese and sauerkraut pierogies, green bean almondine, cole slaw, cucumber salad and a great variety of desserts. I made the cream of mushroom soup which begins the meal. Happy holidays to all my fellow DUers! Cheers!🥂

6. I'd never heard of a Polish Vigilia, so I had to look it up.

Sounds like an absolutely lovely tradition.

My maternal ancestors were from Poland, but apparently did not practice this.

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family!'

9. That all sounds great. Worked with folks who ate about the same thing. Summer festivals were an eat fest.

Enjoy and best.

5. Sounds delic, Cher!

Ha ha - we're on the same wavelength. I had my salmon for lunch, done in the air fryer with garlic and lemon pepper, with a side of mac n cheese and fresh pan steamed green beans.

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.

10. Red beans and rice

We're still recovering from our lovely virus and are taking it easy. Nice soft food.

And I'm doing Xmas dinner as much ahead as possible. I wanna sleep in tomorrow.

12. beef stew and garlic bread

It's a cool, rainy evening here, so I wanted hot soup. It's almost ready!

13. It's just me and hubby for the holidays, so I decided to take it somewhat easy...

tonight it will be chicken cordon bleu and baked potatoes, with garlic bread. Tomorrow, our Christmas dinner will be my homemade spaghetti with my all day simmering sauce. Not very Christmasy, but hea... it's red! (LOL)
