Christmas 2017

Dining date: 12/25/17

My family’s Christmas tradition of two meals, one on each side of the family, has spanned many years – I’ve lost count. This year was no different with lunch being spent on my mom’s side and dinner spent on my dad’s side. It’s certainly one of the most gluttonous days of the year for my family and I (along with Thanksgiving). Below is all of the food:

fried wontons

hot dog pastries

deviled eggs

egg rolls

breakfast sandwiches

mashed potatoes

chow mein

lasagna

sauteed shrimp

lollipop chicken wings

chinese roasted goose

pork ribs

pork shoulder

sauteed steak

panettone from roy

maple pecan bars

chocolates

mango pudding

sweet stop dream cake

sweet stop chocolate crunch cake

At the conclusion of dessert, we moved on to dinner at my dad’s side of the family.

chinese sticky rice

vegetables

mashed potatoes

gravy

stuffing

yams

turkey

roasted new york strip

lobster tails

sweet stop dream cake

Filled with plenty of food, friends and family – Christmas is always one of the most memorable days of the year. Unfortunately, I was a bit under the weather for this particular one, but it didn’t stop me from being able to celebrate another Christmas tradition.
