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 1 year ago

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

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.

Thought it was Christmas eve dinner tonight but the person cooking changed it to tomorrow which doubles up with other family Christmas dinner. So thats a mess but now it's chinese takeout tonight.

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.

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.

chinese takeout, so original !

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.
