Ho Ho Ho!!!

Merry Christmas everybody!

I miss saying those words "Merry Christmas". Everyone is so PC nowadays using the term "Happy Holidays" but since I celebrate Christmas and this is my blog, I wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Last Friday, my good friend JC and I went to dinner at Cabana Seaport. I had forgotten just how beautiful Seaport is this time of year! The cobblestone streets and quaint stores by the water just create a differnt kind of NYC feeling. The restaurant is warm, cozy and festively decorated with white Christmas lights. In true Chinese fashion, we ordered a few plates and shared everything. If you ever decide to grab a meal while visiting the Seaport during the winter, I suggest their Beef Empanadas and Paella Valenciana with Shrimp, clams, mussels, chicken and chorizo simmered with saffron and garlic in a caldera of valencia rice. Even though I only got one measely shrimp, the rice is soo perfectly cooked and seasoned. My expanding waistline was not too thrilled but my mouth sure was.

N and I are hosting Christmas Linner this year. He will be doing most of the work but I will be pitching in by preparing two appetizers and two sides and he'll take care of the rest. Regardless, I am feeling the pressure. For some reason, people are expecting me to fail on my dishes - his mom has already offered to provide me with the number for a caterer. Just because I started out a bit late in the kitchen, doesn't make me a bad cook! Will provide my 1 follower with pictures of my masterpieces.

  1. So, it's like a month later, and you haven't updated your blog.

    How'd Linner go?
