fleaTonight I'm making lasagna. I make a damn fine lasagna, if I say so myself.
Christmas we're going to do a turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, since we didn't have Thanksgiving at home. Need to discuss a dessert, but I think apple pie. Breakfast will be Trader Joe's chocolate croissants and bacon, and clementines and pomegranates from the stockings.
It's Christmas Eve we haven't decided on. Traditionally, I gather, one has fish, but we live inland and my kids are not big fish eaters. I have a mess of kale, but pasta with white beans and kale is not really unusual enough for Christmas Eve (it's one of our staple dinners.) Maybe I'll make kale chips from the kale and we can have an "appetizer dinner" - we have crackers and boursin cheese and some pate, and I can get Michael to pick up some hummus and maybe some other yummy appetizers if he goes to Trader Joe's tomorrow. (I am working tomorrow, and while we are in theory let go at 1pm or so, I don't like to count on such things.)
Other ideas? We did scallops and rice pilaf the last time we cooked on Christmas Eve, which was nice although the kids did not eat the scallops of course.
