I am thinking about making myself something delicious. Not celebrating with anyone this eve but curious what everyone else will be eating.
I’m by myself. I made a frozen pizza. I didn’t realize it was Christmas Eve until I saw this post and read some of the replies. I really don’t care about the holidays.
Breakfast for dinner with challah French toast! First time trying it with this bread
Tacos and Gluwein.
As is tradition. At least, those are our traditions.
That sounds awesome.
You gotta give us the story of how it came to be.
Tacos and Gluwein are spectacularly, gloriously far apart culinarily.
How did you come to having a middle American dish with a northern European beverage?
Nothing really spectacular. Gluwein is a tradition from my family (which has some roots in Germany). I always had it at my parents home during Christmas time. And since my wife enjoys it, she agrees with me making a batch for Christmas. Tacos came about because my wife makes good tacos and neither of us is much into the traditional ham or turkey dinners which are common. One year, we just agreed to tacos and that’s been that. Christmas now means tacos and Gluwein.
That’s awesome.
I’m in Denmark (so close to Germany) and we usually have the Danish variety of Gluwein, Glögg, multiple times throughout December.
I can totally relate to not being much into traditional Christmas cooking. My family isn’t either, so we try something new every year.
I had raclette and I’m about to go down on some delicious riskrem with cherries and I will hopefully find the hidden almond.
Egg roll in a bowl. It’s basically the filling of an egg roll, minus the fried wrapper that would normally go around it. It’s like a stir-fry, really. Cover it in chili garlic sauce and that stuff is fire.
I base it on this recipe but I’ve made it so many times now I’m using my own measurements for the spices and sauces and just kinda wing it.
