Chicken divan. Delicious stuff, easy to make, give it a shot if it looks good to you.

Texas barbeque because I'm sick of having turkey for every holiday and my SO doesn't want to get Peking duck because we're getting that for lunar New Year.

Crispy Hawaiian tofu with egg-fried rice. Normally eat it with regular rice but this is a special day and husband wanted to treat me since I've not been at all well these last few weeks. Bloody love egg-fried rice.

Now absolutely stuffed and feel like I never want to eat again, although he's already prepping our two-person Christmas dinner for tomorrow so I won't tell him that!

Thought it was Christmas eve dinner tonight but the person cooking changed it to tomorrow which doubles up with other family Christmas dinner. So thats a mess but now it's chinese takeout tonight.

Chinese takeout was tradition on Christmas every for us from the 70's up till my digestion couldn't take it anymore, fond nostalgic Christmas memories.

My family has a tradition of following my Nonna's old family recipe for homemade pasta and sauce.

I'm marinating a salmon steak in an Asian sauce mixture, and roasting that. I'll make some fried rice and steam some broccoli, and pour the remaining sauce from the salmon over the broccoli. This is something I meant to do last night but didn't get around to it, so it's my christmas eave dinner tonight.

In respite from the prep cooking I've been doing and the big meal tomorrow we are ordering pizza tonight.

I'm on my own this year, since my wife is out of town. Friends invited me to have Christmas eve dinner with them last night. I brought vegan Swedish meatballs and rye bread (I made them both). They had a lot of good vegan and non-vegan food there. We also drank tequila and blackberry moonshine :). Tonight, I'm having leftovers, and I'm also making some cardamom buns.

Family tradition is pizza and wings after church on Christmas Eve!

A traditional sour cabbage soup called Kapustnica, followed by homemade pork schnitzels with potato salad. For drinks we have boiled plum wine with spices.

Typical dinner - fish soup, fried carp with potato salad.

I really like it, each year we have lots of potato salad and strong soup.
