Christmas Day is winding down. We've had our dinner, the little ones have opened gifts and had tantrums.. The littlest grand daughter had a great time chasing the cat and trying to put ribbon and bows on him. Dinner wasn't great. For over 10years we've had our dinner at a local restaurant. Ten years ago we got a traditional WASP type dinner. Turkey, ham, mince pies and sugar cookies, along with salad and veggies. A few years ago we started to get pyrogies and holubchi, along with the turkey ( no ham)and mass produced white cake. This year we had Fried Asian noodles and Italian sausage, the worst turkey I've ever eaten, and bread pudding. And the price had gone up by almost 20%. So DD and I talked about it and decided to try again for a home-made dinner-next year. Not a very satisfactory day.
