It’s the Wednesday before Christmas and we are trying to eat reasonably. John and I both know that come Saturday we will be in the midst of an eating extravaganza. Saturday we celebrate Pilat Eve which incorporates the foods of Hanukkah and our traditional Christmas Eve fare. Which is hors d’ouevres! This is really a tradition that started when I was a teenager and my friends who happened to be Jewish would come over and help decorate our tree and we would eat finger foods. It seemed like a good tradition to continue and the kids like it. But back to today. We had pork tenderloin with gravy (again), farro with mushrooms (yum), and Brussels sprouts. These sprouts were quite small so I didn’t cut most of them in half and they were pretty bitter which is surprising for small ones. I don’t think I will buy them from Costco again.
