You gotta love living rural sometimes

We were rather surprised last night to learn that Far North Idaho has so many Italians living up here LMAO

Shan and I met after she got off work to finish up shopping for Christmas dinner

Not one tub of Ricotta cheese in all of Sandpoint all 4 Grocery stores including Walmart were out..
We got back home and I called up to Bonner's Ferry, one was out the other had 2 tubs left so at 9pm in the snow there I was driving north to pick up Ricotta..

Christmas Dinner Lasagna is still on the menu

I hear we are having Lasagna for a main dish also!

But for Christmas eve.

Well, I cooked my son's ducks. If he brings home some more, I might try to tenderize it in a recipe for the new crock pot Santa brought us.The meat was rich and flavorful, if pretty tough, and a few over-cooked parts did have the liver taste of over-cooked duck. But good overall with the raspberry sauce; the dogs enjoyed the leftover fat in their kibble.

Before, on the "Chaotic" pattern cutting board my woodworking buddy makes (also from Santa this year):

Plated on our old chipped china with the raspberry sauce lol. We didn't drag out the fancy stuff this year:

Pretty basic sides, though my wife did make a nice Christmassy mousse and pumpkin pie for desert, and pre-made our favorite sausage/egg/hash-brown/cheese breakfast casserole for tomorrow. Not to mention I'm eating all the Chex mix I can't deliver because we're in quarantine. Time to put on the stretchy pants, boys!

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all, regardless of how you celebrate the season in this strangest of all seasons!

I snacked so much before dinner there barely was room left.

I sure hope that's a serving platter, Tc. If not...I'd be asking where your plate was.

Lessee....bacon wrapped Tenderloin, and a Ribeye...mmmmm tasty.!
