Christmas Eve dinner was a fair amount of work. Like guess who got to open these?
Wellfleets. There were also PEIs. Must've taken me a good 30 minutes to do 18 oysters; I'll never get hired in New Orleans.
Three types of caviar. My favorite was the payusnaya...pressed caviar, which wasn't really pressed, but so delicious. I also did those tiny potatoes, which meant cooking them, cutting them in half, and then hollowing them out - talk about a pain in the ass.
Whole roasted red snapper; simple with herbs, lemon and olive oil. There was also a pasta with clams. Brandade and razor clam conservas were additional starters, with the oysters.
