Prepping for Christmas Party 12-22-2011

I have a lot of slicing, dicing and chopping to
do today, getting ready for our holiday party.
This years theme of Italy includes pork lasagna,
spinach and mushroom lasagna, meatball soup, tortellini
and hot sausage, tomato and bococcini salad, antipasti,
chocolate rum cake, a homemade fruit cake and of course,
our venison chilli.
Merry almost Christmas, everyone!

It has been a long, long time since I was here, or
had much creativity in the kitchen. We will be hosting our
annual Christmas Eve open house this year with some
Italian favorites. I may post them afterward, if people
say they are worth it. I also have a new counter and backsplash,
which I hope will inspire me to create fabulous dishes in
the new year.
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
