I have no idea what's for dinner tonight. To help remedy the situation, H is getting a series of cooking lessons for Christmas. I'm going to attend, too. And yes, before I signed up for them, we did agree using the POJA.

Beef stroganoff and brussel sprouts with melted parmesan cheese.

I thought parmesan was a grainy sort of cheese...concoction in a can indeed.

Really? Authentic parmesan, or some Midwest concoction that is sold in a spray can?
A spray can?? No silly, it was CHEEZ WHIZ parm-e-zan in a jar!

Okay, then.....three days until Christmas Eve (I love doing this just to read the horrified protests of the less adventuresome!) and we will once again be consuming the Dinner of the Seven Fishes (actually: Seafoods)!
As appetizers we will enjoy chilled clam dip(1) and warm crab dip(2).
We will have a pasta course of linguine with anchovies(3).
The salad course will be a cold baccala salad with a olive-pepper tapenade topping.(4)
We will then dine on Octopus with Wine and Tomatoes(5) and Calamari fra Diavolo(6), and, instead of bread, Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers(7).
How about it, colleagues - Anyone else observing the Holiday with an ethnic feast?
Mmmmmm......I'm not sure about all that NG. The only time I would eat anchovies would be in the preparation of homemade Ceasar salad dressing....even then it is in the form of anchovie paste.
I am still trying to figure out some ideas for a new traditions Christmas dinner. I am hoping that others will share what they are serving so I can get some ideas. I have the ham.

He eats octopus and has no fish sticks??? Good grief, how can a person have a 7 fish dinner and leave out the fish sticks??

As a matter of fact, fish sticks (What part of the fish is the "stick"?) WILL be served at the NG family Holiday repast. It seems that DGS, age 2, has latched onto those chopped, formed, and processed icthiological horrors as his "favorite food du jour"!! Since DD and family, are driving here from NC, we are making accommodations for DGS's juvenile palate, and making them available.
For Christmas dinner we had a pork roast with red potatoes, an onion or two, and carrots. There was so much in there that even with the minimal amount of water it leaked!
Tonight we plan to shove rice in the leftovers. It'll last us tonight, maybe even tomorrow.

The 2 year old has redeemed you!
Fish sticks are the best!
