Holiday Report -> Christmas 2018

Food this Christmas ->
Christmas Dinner #1 at my parent's house on Dec 25.
I made the prime rib roast with the 500 degree oven method.

It came out a nice medium-medium rare :)
500 Degree Method = Medium Rare.
My dad cubed up the roast at Ben's request.  It was actually a good idea, as it made it easy to eat with rice bowls.  We also had Chinese greens, tofu soup, mushrooms, and mix veggies (mini-potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts, king oyster mushrooms, and red onions).
Christmas Dinner #1.
Desserts: lemoncello frutti de bosco cake (from Montreal), rice crispies (made by Susanna), snowball cookies, and mini cup pastries (from Costco). 
Christmas Desserts.
One of the mini cup pastries was a lemoncello flavour.  It was disgusting.  Tasted like Lemon Pledge!  Actually most of those cups were not good.  The chocolate one was tolerable.

Christmas Dinner #2 at my cousin's house on Dec 29.  We had this Christmas later because some people couldn't make it for our usual Dec 24 Christmas party.
I prepared sushi.  I prepared 10 rolls with a mix of salmon, avocado, cucumber, and egg.

Lots of appetizers: sushi, smoke salmon, bacon wrapped water-chestnuts, Peking duck wraps, pate, and Chinese meat pastries.

Main Dinner: roast lamb, shrimp and scallops in lobster sauce, butter chicken, Chinese greens, sweet potatoes & brussel sprouts, daikon with beef, and salads.

Lots of Desserts.

We had a fun Christmas party at Anthony's place before Christmas.  (Anthony: you need to have it earlier next year.)
