Sushi tonight, but I'm making French onion soup for whenever over the next few days. Always better the next day.

Aw yes. Is it cold where you are? French onion soup is the best in chilly weather.

[โ€“] doc@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago

Yep. 40F and rain for a few days here. Need that warmth. Happy holidays!

Crispy Hawaiian tofu with egg-fried rice. Normally eat it with regular rice but this is a special day and husband wanted to treat me since I've not been at all well these last few weeks. Bloody love egg-fried rice.

Now absolutely stuffed and feel like I never want to eat again, although he's already prepping our two-person Christmas dinner for tomorrow so I won't tell him that!

I'm marinating a salmon steak in an Asian sauce mixture, and roasting that. I'll make some fried rice and steam some broccoli, and pour the remaining sauce from the salmon over the broccoli. This is something I meant to do last night but didn't get around to it, so it's my christmas eave dinner tonight.

My family has a tradition of following my Nonna's old family recipe for homemade pasta and sauce.

gonna play some dino nugget roulette. some were recalled a couple of times recently.. dunno if the bags in the freezer are 'ok' or not. don't care, but i think they predate the recalls.

I'm having lobster tail, mushie peas and unclel Ben's rice. It's not the most elaborate meal but it's comforting and delicious.

[โ€“] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Iโ€™m going to be having lobster tail myself here shortly! Butterflied and grilled!

Texas barbeque because I'm sick of having turkey for every holiday and my SO doesn't want to get Peking duck because we're getting that for lunar New Year.

In respite from the prep cooking I've been doing and the big meal tomorrow we are ordering pizza tonight.

I'm on my own this year, since my wife is out of town. Friends invited me to have Christmas eve dinner with them last night. I brought vegan Swedish meatballs and rye bread (I made them both). They had a lot of good vegan and non-vegan food there. We also drank tequila and blackberry moonshine :). Tonight, I'm having leftovers, and I'm also making some cardamom buns.
