I do up a large jar of sill.. (swedish pickled herring & onions).. keep some of the swedish blood going.. great snacking. |
That's what I remember. Linguini with clam sauce. WHITE.
Home made.
5 pounds of lobster tails in butter.
(No claws,no shells, just the tails.) There may have been other food too.
My grandmother passed away in 2000, and from that point on the family doesn't do X-mas Eve anymore. It was always in this house.
I'm in her house now(it will always be her house) and I still make a feeble attempt at linguini w/clams every year.
Just not the same. Never will be.
