Christmas 2006
A few holiday food highlights...
My mom made these amazing stuffed squash with tortellini in a thyme/butter/cream sauce, and arugala salad with dried cranberries and almonds with homemade vinagrette.
It wouldn't be Christmas without crab meat mold!
"Blue Christmas" cake. This had vanilla mousse on the inside. It was a Christmas miracle that I only had one (huge) slice.
Whoopie Pies!!! These pumpkin-maple whoopie pies from The Black Forest Cafe and Bakery in Amherst, NH were unbelievable. So good! A purist may say this is not an actual whoopie pie, like the traditional chocolate ones on the right, but whatever you call it, it was damn good!
New Year's Day Brunch: tofu/egg scramble with onion, black beans, salsa, and gruyere; pita bread; orange juice; and a half-bottle of Veuve Clicquot. Desert did not last long enough for me to take a picture: coffee heath bar crunch ice cream with G's homemade chocolate chip cookies, all covered in Godiva chocolate liquor. Happy New Year indeed!

Sometimes I'll store the meatballs separately in a different container. These keeps them from getting soggy. Also you can have the meatballs on something else like spag and have the soup as a veg broth. You can freeze soup very easily by putting it in a zip lock and throwing in the freezer for a cold and rainy day.
Good idea. That had occured to me, but I was too lazy to fish them out. That's what I get for being lazy!
