Holidays in NJ 2005

[Rosie]

I wanted to wish eveyone a very happy holiday season. What are you doing this weekend? Do you cook a special meal for Christmas or do you dine out?

If you are still looking for a place to dine at for Christmas or New Year's there's a list at: http://www.njmonthly.com/rosie/rnews.html

We're going to a party tomorrow evening and I think we will go to the movies and for Chinese or Thai food on Sunday.

Hi, Rosie.

Happy Holidays to you, too!

We are having a combo holiday dinner on Sunday to celebrate Christmas & Hannukah, but thinking of going out for Christmas Eve (we better decide soon!).

Our holiday dinner will combine Italian Christmas traditions and Hannakuah foods (latkes!).

Enjoy!

Xmas eve was with friends who are like family after 25 years; nothing wild in the food department, but it was certainly tasty, and more importantly, FUN!

Tonight will be a Channukah party with the whole fam damily, including my nieces and nephew--and that's what makes it fun even before it starts. Sfugiyanot (sp?) and latkes, for sure, but we still haven't decided on what dinner will be--possibly Indigo Smoke or Los Tapatios, depending on who is open!

Happy Holidays to everyone!

just back from the inlaws and still have christmas with johnnybird to do

friday night was just three of us - chicken ruby(chicken breasts lightly sauteed then baked with a sauce of cranberries, onion, orange juice and spices), green beans with garlic and whole wheat noodles.

christmas eve was at my sister-in-law's place. all i had to do was make salad, a dressing for it and bring bread. sil made beef pot pies though we have to work on her crimping skills since the pastry tops collapsed and burned and fried potatoes. mil #3 brought lasagna and precooked frozen shrimp .

christmas day was at my mother-in-law's house. ham, a sweet potato gratin, tarragon carrots, baked beans, macaroni and cheese and white and green asparagus.

right now at work but saturday, when we celebrate our christmas, it will be a capon,sausage stuffing and the rest is up in the air now....
