Xmas seafood

[Bass Babe]

The best part of my family's long passed Christmas Eve traditions was the "breaking of the bread".

We got blessed wafers from Poland and broke them with everyone at the table, wishing them a good year and promising to try to get along for another year, as well. My sister was always the best at snapping off the wafers so I would get a giant piece from her and end up with a mouthful of cardboard. Too bad I learned her secret the last year we did it.

But I am going to stay with my sister's family in the New Orleans area this year for Christmas, so yay! I don't know what kind of food will be served, but from what I hear, there won't be a shortage of booze. If I remember Christmas, I'll tell you what it was like.

For Christmas Eve I'm picking up a couple 3 1/2 -4# lobsters down the street from one of my favorite fishing spots. Man, that's gonna take alot of butter

No fish for me,
But if anybody wants to head to Waltham on Christmas, we have one hell of an open-invitation party.
Any takers?
Later,
Rick

My family will be eating Ms. Virginia's crab cakes from Rock Hall, MD. They are without a doubt as good as a crab cake could be.

New Years we will have some oyster pie as well

in my family we dont eat at christmas time we give our time and money to the food kitchen and feed the needy . I feel hurt when I eat knowing there are those at christmas that dont have a choice of which dumpster has the best food . Im feeling guilty now and I just ate pizza at pepe's .
