Holiday Food

Yesterday was our all day Christmas marathon. So, our Christmas is officially over now. Except for one family Christmas that is more like an annual reunion that will be held after New Year's.

Food, as always takes a prominent role in our Christmas gatherings. We were again blessed with an abundance of tasty feasts.
Friday night was oyster stew and tortellini soup.
Saturday was seafood night with shrimp, scallops, and King Crab legs.
Sunday was our fowl meal; Cornish hens.
Monday started with breakfast casserole brunch, followed in the evening with shrimp cocktail and crepes.
Each meal included all the 'fixins' and was followed by cookies, candies, and other deserts.
It is hard to comprehend how blessed we are compared to the majority of the people in the world. I hope I don't take too much for granted, or set my affection on the abundance available to me.

No doubt weight was gained over the weekend which should prompt budget cuts in the coming weeks.

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Isaiah 55:2
