Christmas eatings

For Christmas Eve, Pat and Claire prepared the traditional Christian feast of seven fishes (sans six). Mussels maketh the Friedrichsens.

For Christmas morning breakfast, Claire created homemade biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were magnificently fluffy and buttery. The Italian sausage and mushroom gravy was life changing.

One of my presents from Claire was her world famous Gooey Rolls, known for their thick, dripping carmel magnificence.

Pat and Claire raised the bar for a traditional Christmas dinner. The menu included braised Patchwork pork chops in apples, onions and ginger; double cranberry chutney; garlic mashed potatoes; chestnut, sage and apple dressing; green bean casserole; and a bottle of White Alice chardonnay.


I gained eight pounds. It was a delicious Christmas.
