Merry Christmas Day (2021)

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate.

It is just the two of us again, this year.

Covid...you gotta love the way it takes over, once again.

My Son knew something might be coming, because things were not getting better in the Fall.

He decided the 10 day trip in October was all he and his girlfriend were going to do this year

He wins and they are safe in Michigan right now.

We also got our presents out early this year, so as far as I know they will be opened today, Christmas morning.

Before we leave to show off what was received and how the day went, here is a quick look at what was made and eaten on Christmas Eve.

We had lobster tails, spaghetti with white clam sauce, fried shrimp, fried calamari and scungilli (conch) salad.

I couldn't get whole calamari, so I got a package of breaded calamari rings. Oh well...

All came out excellent and we topped it all off with a bottle of GTS Wine 2017. The late Tom Seaver's vineyard.

For dessert, I broke down and made a small amount of Struffoli. My family told me it had been decades since I made these. Well, here they are.

Most of the food was already in the house, so our food bill was not too bad this week. Yay!
