What are you having for dinner tonight?
I am thinking about making myself something delicious. Not celebrating with anyone this eve but curious what everyone else will be eating.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm celebrating it in family. 4 relatives, me, 2 cats, and probably 1-3 uninvited (but still welcome) guests. It'll be:
- Snacks - 2 types of chips, mozzarella with olive oil and oregano, salsicho (local sausage, nice to eat with some sprinkled lime), olives.
- Booze - beer. Sis is bringing something else too but I don't know what.
- Soda - for the kids. Or rather the 16yo "kid". And likely for the adults to mix with the booze.
- Main meat - one of those big chicken breeds with fancy names, locally called "chester" or "fiesta". If I were to choose it would be mutton, but I'm the only one who eats it so... I'm still glad that it isn't turkey. At least Kika (cat #1) gets some chicken breast as a treat.
- Siding #1 - white rice otherwise there's a bloody revolution here.
- Siding #2 - a yucca meal farofa. I wasn't in charge of it, so I don't know what's in.
- Salad - a salad with everything and a bit more: ricotta, arugula, bacon, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, croutons, and a yoghurt-based dressing. Siegfrieda (cat #2) gets some yoghurt as a treat.
- Dessert #1 - a fake tiramisù with pasty cream instead of zabaglione + mascarpone because it's how my family likes it. 22:00 yesterday and I was still preparing it.
- Dessert #2 - sweet french toasts with syrup. I'm expecting the sweet teeth in the family to drizzle its syrup over the tiramisù.
It's theoretically for five people but we're expecting 1~3 more to come in, and leftovers always become part of the Christmas breakfast and lunch, so we give ourselves the luxury to go a bit overboard. Plus three pairs of hands to cook, fuck yeah.
(Happy Christmas for everyone here!)
Soda - for the kids.
Just asking on your opinion, is it otherwise weird/rude to refuse drinking alcohol when it's not due to religion or health issues?
I don't think that it's weird; it's a personal choice, and I think that it should be respected. I said that the soda is for the kid because he got to choose it and from earlier experiences he's the only one who drinks it.
No.
