Chinese takeout was tradition on Christmas every for us from the 70's up till my digestion couldn't take it anymore, fond nostalgic Christmas memories.
I'm in the car while my wife runs in to grab our Xmas eve Chinese takeout. It's a nice tradition since we end up cooking up a storm on Christmas Day.
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.
you still alive, friend?
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.
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.

Hubs is making this with rice and bok choy. It's just us and our kiddo tonight https://nolimitcooking.com/2022/11/03/wedding-banquet-style-roasted-chilean-sea-bass/
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.
Family tradition is pizza and wings after church on Christmas Eve!
In respite from the prep cooking I've been doing and the big meal tomorrow we are ordering pizza tonight.
chinese takeout, so original !
Duck
Russian salad and flamenquin.
Gnocchi with cream sauce, one of my favorites.
Typical dinner - fish soup, fried carp with potato salad.
I really like it, each year we have lots of potato salad and strong soup.
A traditional sour cabbage soup called Kapustnica, followed by homemade pork schnitzels with potato salad. For drinks we have boiled plum wine with spices.
