I am thinking about making myself something delicious. Not celebrating with anyone this eve but curious what everyone else will be eating.

Slow cooked pork ribs with boiled potatoes and sour cabbage. It's a tradition to the point of pretty much being mandated by law at this point.

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.

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.

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.

[–] doc@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

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!

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/

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.

Gnocchi with cream sauce, one of my favorites.
