We ordered some home made tamales from a neighbor lady for dinner tonight.
We always have tamales for Christmas Eve dinner. I'll pull out some of my homemade chili verde from the freezer to go on top of them, and maybe make some Spanish rice and a green salad for sure. I can't believe it's Christmas Eve already. Still looking for a delivery for the rest of the gifts...they were promised to get here by today......holding breath!

Probably a lot of nibbling today. I don't THINK anyone is coming by, but you just never know. I think I'll put on a pot of chicken soup, and make some dumplings to go with. (Might try kitchenelf's slippery dumplings) I JUST remembered to take out the turkey last night! *forehead slap* So its sitting in water outside the back door. Cross your fingers people!

No plans. We'll see what we're in the mood for later. I've been too busy baking and cleaning to think about dinner!

I envy you.. We have a neighbor lady who brings us a batch of Tamales every Christmas morning. You should see my husband. He has no shame when it comes to her Tamales. He's hanging on the door drooling on the knob, looking out the window waiting.. Kid at Christmas.
Every time I ask her what she puts in it. She just says pork. That's not telling me much.. HO HO HO...
Baked fudge? 'splain me?
You've got me going. Who is Cleora Butler and how do I make her crab cakes? Of all the seafood in the world, I love crab and lobsters.
And Oysters and Squid and Clams and scallops.

Prime rib roast and lots of wine and cheese.

Wow, Ill bet that's good. I'll have to try that next year. I still have ingredients for another two fudges, but I've just gotta taste that one.
We have started the day with pastrami and swiss biscuits, with scrambled eggs, juice and coffee.
Then I am starting up a pot of Clam Chowder, something I can ignore for the most part while I finish up the Tamales for tomorrow. I've got my beans soaking for refries.

Busy lady. Details later?
I'll get pictures of our Christmas feast tomorrow!
I've also decided on shortbread cookies with lemon curd for dessert, tomorrow.
Where do you find the energy? Are shortbread cookies like Pecan Sandies?
I slept in until 10 this morning Also, I am used to getting 28 patients their meds and into bed each night! This is easy compared to that!Of course, at home I have to worry about stepping on cats and keeping Shrek out of the kitchen
The base cookie in a Pecan Sandie IS shortbread, mine will be plain with the lemon curd on the side, simple and delicious. I have a mini-scone pan I'll bake the shortbread in.
