I hope everyone had wonderful holidays with great food and good times with family and friends.

In the excitement of the holidays and all the good things to eat I forgot to take any pictures. So I can merely give a run-down of the abundance I ate.

For Christmas Eve we had an all-hors d’oeuvres spread – pigs in blankets, meatballs 3 ways, shrimp with cocktail sauce, hot spicy bean dip, cheese and crackers and various spreads. There was also a rum cake and strawberry Santas for dessert.

We had our traditional Christmas breakfast – bagels and lox and a crisp German wheat beer to wash it down.

Our son made Christmas dinner – prime rib, crispy potatoes, broccoli casserole, and creamed greens. Also three pies.

So really there was no “dining lite.”

I don’t think there will be much attempt at moderation until after New Year’s Eve. We have a lot of leftovers. Nonetheless I will try to remember to take pictures this week so I can look back and rue my choices. 😁
