So, I've been here with Phil's family for a week, and we've been doing nothing but eating. I made Amanda's Meatballs last night, and beef stew earlier in the week, and we have a giant honey baked ham. So, basically once I get home I'm going vegetarian for at least a week.
Tonight (Christmas Eve), we're following the Palmer family tradition of appetizers and wine, but with some Amanda-influence. We're having:
Bacon wrapped, blue-cheese stuffed dates
Chorizo braised in red wine
Shrimp Cocktail
Various cheeses
Veggies and dip
Smoked oysters (yech!)
Bread
Mulled red wine
Various things!
