I forgot one more family tradition at Christmas time. Sal, Dom, Frank and other Italians on this site will be familiar with Struffoli. Here are some pictures of Struffoli, so have a virtual plate of struffoli for Christmas.  Here is a slightly out of focus close up. They are basically deep fried egg paste with a honey wash. I have to eat gluten free, so these are made gluten free. Merry Christmas again to all of you and your families.  |

Dominick, that looks great but what happened to the almonds? My wife usually shapes them into a pyramid but she also adds lots of almonds. Almonds or no almonds, they still look delicious. You're making me hungry, Dominick.

I am going back to Hawaii to see my kids and celebrate New Years "O-shogatsu" like Alan, except we no longer use the guava tree mallet. We use an electric mochi maker that steams and mashes the rice to make mochi. Now the art is not pounding the mochi without mashing fingers of the "master turner" but to make the perfectly circular mochi for decoration. Of course the all day eating celebration is a must, starting with ozoni. Happy holidays to all in all the ways you celebrate it!

Hey Everyone: I will be busy on Christmas Eve so we are doing the Seven Fish thing tonight. The bowl contains calamari, tuna, scallops, mussels clams and shrimp. That's six plus the steamed crabs. The crabs are killed, cleaned then steamed along with crab shells. Then for presentation the crab halves are put together and the shell is put over as like a cap. Sure looks good. I also have an ice cold bottle of J champagne and a bottle of Pinot Grigio to wash it down. Dominick  |

In the south, we traditionally eat Hoppin' John on New Years day. It is basically a rice and bean dish made with black eyed peas,rice and ham hocks or bacon. Its supposed to bring good luck throughout the new year.
Since I am originally from Key West, where we had a strong Cuban and Bahamian influence, we celebrate Noche Buena or Christmas Eve with either a whole pig (lechon) or sometimes, the smaller "fresh hams" (paletas) with black beans and rice, plantains, yucca etc.
My wife is from the Philippines where they also cook whole pigs for Christmas Eve, although a different style, so we matched up well.

In Tennessee it's Country Ham, Turnip Greens, and Blackeyed Peas for New Year's Dinner.
When I moved to S.E. Georgia...I found the folks there add dumplings and smoked pigtails to the pot of peas....
Bake a big black iron skillet of cracklin' cornbread, put your cardiologist on "Speed-dial"...and DIG IN..!!!
