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 !

Couldn't agree with you more, Nightblade. My fiancée and I just bought our first house recently and then hosted my parents for the first time for Christmas and I did all the cooking. The gifts we exchanged were thoughtful, but few. What was far more appreciated by all four of us was the food, and I was more gratified by cooking good, memorable meals for my family (I roasted two 3 pound chickens, one with an ancho chili rub and one with a traditional rosemary-sage-thyme-garlic-lemon-pepper prep) than I was by giving them gifts. Very glad to hear that you and yours had a merry Christmas and that food played a part in that.

Marsh that sounds humbly fantastic and Happy Holidays to you sir.

A simple, yet tasty, repast from last night: Black eyed peas with some sliced Jalapenos and cornbread.

Ding ding ding !!! Yeah !!

Between my grandson wiggling and the new program my wife uploaded this is the best I got.

Baked Sunfish, scalloped potatoes and corn.

He is not use to eating at our house and would go hungry for a week or so!
