    Good Lord! You could feed an army at that table. Looks delicious. An Eyetalian friend of mine from up Massachusetts way said they had fish for Xmas - some kind of fish which is an Xmas dish.

    You ought to try a Swedish delicacy called lutefisk sometime. Ha, ha, ha, ha!

    Wonderful menu. I had to read it twice and think I've gained a pound or two just doing that. Happy New Year!

    That sounds beyond wonderful! I notice you posted the menu AFTER Christmas, Birdman...I suppose it helped keep hoards of us from climbing onto airplanes and arriving for uninvited visits.
