She's bringing a pistachio pie over later tonight for desert (everyone comes to my house and then we goto my Pépère house Xmas night - family tradition).

Christmas eve - Chicken Tuscanny at a nice small local eatery - it was a pan seared Chicken breast served in a provolone based light cream sauce, with spinach, shallots and prosuito served over a medium spaghetti. Garden salad and the kick ass rolls they have there were the only compliment to the meal.
Christmas day - Started with a ceasar salad and went to a Balsamic, rosemary and sage marrinated pork tenderloin - slits were cut into the tenderloins and garlic cloves were placed into them and then closed. Baked at very high heat for about 12 minutes. Fresh greenbeans and potato caserole(mashed potato's mixed with sauted onions and creamchease and baked) were the only other parts of the main course.
I am not into sweets so no dessert with either meal.

Well, that was good. Pot roast, potatoes, green beans, and salad.
Chocolate mousse for dessert.
You'd think with two parents that cook well, I'd learn sometime.

Top it off with red-skin mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli on the side.

is learning to moonwalk i
X-mas Eve - some huge porterhouse steak at Outback in St. George, Utah (on the way back from Zion
X-mas - went to my fiance's god father's house in Veags where they had a whole roasted pig, lumpia, seared ahi, beef caldereta, pancit, shrimp, korean style beef short ribs, chicken skewers, rice and a bunch of other things. I think it was a fairly typical Filipino dinner with a few extras.
