Christmas Eve



Well it's the day before Christmas. Most of our children now have children. Instead of making everyone get up at the crack of dawn and run to all the grandparents and parents houses on Christmas Day, we have started having a late brunch on Christmas Eve. This years' menu will be juice, milk, coffee, relish tray, homemade "Boursin-Style Cheese" from Paula Dean's cookbook with crackers, ham shank with a Brown Sugar Dijon glaze on the side, Pommes Anna and Asparagus Spaghetti Frittata, homemade yeast rolls.This way everyone can come and go as their schedules allow. The frittata recipe is from Lidia's Family Table, written by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich. If your lucky you can catch her show on PBS, http://www.pbs.org/, she also has a number of downloadable recipes at her website http://www.lidiasitaly.com. I'll let you know how the frittata turns out. If I can pry the camera from my wife I may be able to get some pictures.
