Incredible dinner last night at my wife's Italian family restaurant.

Creme Brulee

Seafood salad with octopus, calamari, scingilli & shrimp
Roasted rack of lamb
garlic mashed potatoes
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
That all sounds amazing.
Christmas dinner is over now, and we are very full. To be honest, the salad was the best part, it was absolutely amazing! Which is a huge rarity for me, as salad tends to be a quaint little appetizer to get out of the way before the main course.

Too much food to mention and too much food left over.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
Yes! First time ever. My brother-in-law, former Army colonel works for a defense contractor in Germany, sent us one. Wow, is it good. She-who-must-be-obeyed doesn't like it, so I'm having it for breakfast, desert, you name it.
Our Christmas eve consisted of the usual Italian fish dinner. This year little neck clams with bacon, cold cooked king crab legs, sauteed scallops, octopus in tomato sauce, baked stuffed squid, smoked salmon, pepper seared ahi tuna, and snail salad along with mushroom ravioli in mushroom sauce and a green salad with pomegranate and persimmon.
Christmas day was antipasto, ham, Chinese ginger string beans, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, and salad. All good stuff.
Both meals were washed down with wassel. We make it every year from a traditional English recipe.

Looking forward to my day in court.
Sauerbraten with Knödeln and Rotkohl.
A glas of fine Red Wine to go with it.
