We have a salad of salmon and bacon in dill and sour cream, Kielbasa, scratch made cherry cranberry relish, dill pickle, cheese, ryebread and tea.....then I had to have dessert, so vanilla ice cream topped with a bit more of that relish . .................................

That looks good.

Oh man, that looks absolutely delish, quite the feast!

Looks delicious, Steph! You're a man of good taste!

I am going to have to avoid this thread as it is making me jealous. Long story but last week I tried to bite the end of my tongue off.... Makes one appreciate taste.

Thanks....I have good influences.

You know guys I'll tell you this,....a long time ago I realized that a meal was the answer to many things. I used to be like so many on the holidays suffering from retail and gift stress. Now I am more into the having a good meal and either spending it with someone or just me and the cat and spending the rest of the night relaxing.Plus Christmas especially is more of the religious thing for me anymore instead of the commercialized thing it's morphed into in this modern age. which reminds me....Sailor thank you,you may have me started on a new tradition with the Christmas declaration thing. it's no longer about gifts and money for me. Plus food is a great way to get to know people. Most of you who I know from other countries, I have learned a lot about your cultures starting with your foods and worked my way from there. Food is the universal ice breaker and It doesn't have to be expensive either. I pointed out once to someone that if you really look at what I post, it's pretty simple fare. But from the time I took cooking classes and did some stints as a cook I always found that the foods I liked best and liked to cook best were the simple peasant foods as I call'em of any culture my own included.Merry Christmas !
