Couldn't find a fitting thread, so here's a new one!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I just had lunch, now waiting for the afternoon when one of my brothers plus wife plus 1.5yo daughter visit and we'll spend the evening like that. Gonna have some "Gulasch with Spätzle" for dinner :o

I'm always happy when Gotwoot stays alive for another year, so I hope all of you have some nice days!

Edit: Aaaaaand I got the title wrong. xD No marriage happening xD

Marry Christmas!!!

I cooked a semi-traditional Filipino Noche Buena dinner tonight. I made Lechon Kawali (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lechon_kawali), Filipino Spaghetti (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filipino_spaghetti) (but not sweet because that is sacrilege to pasta), Baked Tahong (https://panlasangpinoy.com/baked-tahong/), and Fruit Salad (https://panlasangpinoy.com/pinoy-fruit-salad-recipe/).

I also got mild frostbite on my right earlobe because of rolling around in the snow during a winter storm (-2F, -19C).

What did everyone else eat and do during Christmas and Christmas Eve?

Merry Xmas
Turkey and lots of other foods including foie gras, salmon and the traditional "bûche de Noël" (yes Christmas log... rolled cake in fact)
Fine chocolates and all sorts of candies.
4 guests: my parents, my wife and I.
12pm we visit my wife's familly. Even more foods and rolled cakes :p

I didn't know the French also ate turkey for Christmas.

And there wasn't any cheese? Or is it so ubiquitous you didn't bother mentioning it?

[David75]

It is possible my mom has been influenced into wanting a turkey for Christmas.
And yes, lots of cheeses from brie to emmental, gruyère, époisses and many other kinds most people would not be able to stomach if they're not used to them :cool:

Belated Merry Christmas.

I worked 23rd to 25th and ate takeout.

Went out with family later on to eat sushi etc later. Xmas was never a huge thing for us but we still like a good old gathering and eating reason.

I saw an old dude who choked on quiche on Xmas eve. He had a partial airway obstruction, and when we got him to cough really really hard, a piece of pastry the size of my 3 largest fingers came up.

As we discharged him we wished he chewed his food. And a Merry Xmas.
