It’s Christmas Eve! What’s for dinner?!
-
Leftover Costco rotisserie chicken made into:
- Chicken miso broth with carrots, shiitake mushrooms, dried dates (rehydrated in broth), goji berries.
- Chicken fried rice with egg, onion, bean sprouts, and cilantro.
Peach slices drenched in root beer liquor as dessert.

I had the most Christmasy Christmas Eve in 25 years.
We had visitors (11 of us total), ate well, played games, etc.

Not counting kids, we had around 20 of us gather up. Seems like it's a bit less each year. Mostly just visiting, eating and singing around the old piano.
Groups can be fun...

Traditional meatless Xmas Eve dinner here. Delicious.
The 9 lb turkey bird carcass currently brining in the basement is for the teen; dad doesn’t like it that much (but will eat when fresh out of the oven) while mom, is a determined Pescatarian (although she will eat eggs). Turkey carcass soup on the stove starts right after the dishes are done.

Whatever. Everything is a starter kit to an Asian female.

Peru has always seemed to me to have a lot of folks of Japanese ancestry, I never knew why.

It does but we have that impression more than we do for Brazil (with 3x the %age of Japanese) because we’re old enough to remember when Fujimori was president.
We did Mayla’s ancestry with 23andMe and she had trace amounts of Japanese and trace amounts of Jewish heritage, in what is otherwise a mix of Spanish and Indigenous Incan background.

Our daughter has done all the cooking this trip. She made a delicious sausage, egg, cheese and English muffin casserole for breakfast. We’d been noshing off and on, so instead of the planned chicken pot pie she made a puff pastry stuffed with Brie and cranberry orange relish. Excellent. For dessert I had one of her THC gummies. Didn’t really notice much of anything from it.

This was dinner on Christmas Eve, but not really a Christmas Eve dinner, but more of a "welcome" back to Taiwan dinner. Christmas is not really celebrated in Taiwan. In fact, it is a regular work day for most people. It used to be a holiday called "Constitution Day" on Dec 25, but they stopped that a while ago.
Very typical "special" meal if going out with a group of relatives or friends. Dont normally eat this much however. LOL
