Well hubby was having a seafood craving tonight, so after an appetizer of homemade bruschetta with fresh romano cheese and cherry tomatoes picked from my garden, this is who he brought home:
Look at the size of this claw:
And here he is solo. His two smaller cousins are still in the pot!
Cannolis and fresh brewed french vanilla coffee completes the meal. Hubby is happy like a pig in mud!
Im from Northern New York, but I root for the Red Sox (dad was from Boston).
Oh No! NMS how can you be from NY? I am not even a baseball fan but if I were to mention those two words in my Father's house.... oh boy... you don't even want to know what would have happend. LOL
Everyone's meals sound so good... and the whole ham discussion! Oh I am sorry I missed that one!
Dinner was great fun tonight and very delicious. Parents have a ton of left overs I can munch on tomorrow. My kids totally zonked out so we ended up having to head home early. That is alright. To tell ya the truth I am a tad tired as well... it has been a busy few days... as well as filling few days. Gotta love having family in town... something about having both your belly and you heart full is a good thing.
I made salmon patties with a sour cream/dill sauce, served with shoestring potatoes, and fresh corn on the cob, tomatoes, and pickles from the local farmers market - washed down with lots of sweet tea, of course. Pecan pie for dessert. Easy, and wonderful, I hoped to have some patties left over for lunch today - no such luck, my kids ate them all during the nighttime "munchies". Oh, well.
Oh My Dear Amber.....I never cook with exact measurements! Thank you for sharing your family tradition.
Tonight we are having the coke recipe and I did pack brown sugar and dijon on the ham after removing skin and scoring the fat.
I am also doing acorn squash with the pool of butter and brwn sugar and cinnamon in the squash shell.
Your squash sounds delicious...and just the way I cook it too, in fact, acorn squash cooked with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon is one of my all time favorite foods!
1 box brown sugar
1 lb butter (I know ts alot!) @ room temp
1 can pineapple rings
sm jar maracino cherries
2 1/2 cups ginger ale
. . . That will allow the oil in your "gravy" to rise. Use your baster to get all that sweet goodness and your gravy boat will be the most popular thing on the table
Gem here you go Kats you too. It is YUMMMMY!. . .
LOL! Thank you, amberbaby. My family's heart and belly will also be quite full. (Thank you, skbs! Lovely.)
I cannot wait for one of my sons and family to come to visit. I will have a ham they will not soon forget. I'll call it "Amberbaby's Love Pig"!
chinese dumplings. now if i could just find some moon cake.
