Merry Christmas! Buon Natale!

I enjoyed all your links. Christmas Eve with my family is very much in keeping with the Sicilian tradition. I am hosting dinner tomorrow night for 30. Here is my menu:
Antipasta
Foccacia
Green salad
Meatballs
Pesto pasta
Cioppino (the men make this with my 96 year old grandfather giving the orders)
Lots of crusty sour dough for dipping
Dessert:
Cannoli – this year my sister is making
Biscotti
Cuccidatti
I think I mentioned to you before that I am newly wed to a Greek so just to be fair there will also be: Spanakopita, Dolmades, Baklava. All homemade.
It is indeed a feast! We eat at 6:00 p.m. pacific time and we always have room for one more 😉
Buon Natale Michelle!
I adore your menu! I would have loved to have joined you…
I hope you had a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
