For Christmas dinner, Del Murder and I had:

Shrimp & crab scampi with linguine
Creamy dungeness crab & corn bisque
Homemade rustic bread

Also making a Pecan pie today.

I made everything from scratch, including my own shellfish stock. I am god damn hardcore.

We celebrated our own personal Christmas early, since the next few days will be devoted to family dinners and whatnot.

For Post-Christmas celebrations with my side of the family, I think I will make paella. It's great for large groups, looks more impressive imho than a turkey or a ham, and it's out of this world delicious.

Christmas Eve Breakfast will be:

Frittata with bacon, mushrooms, potatoes, onions, and red bell peppers
Brioche french toast

I love cooking for the Holidays. It's my favorite thing.
