I bring a fish (crab cakes), but I can bring dessert as well. Hope your holidays were happy ones!Betsyhttp://aplatefulofhappiness.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155615554517013920.post-10107537658561911552011-12-26T08:03:44.969-08:002011-12-26T08:03:44.969-08:00Great post with lovely photos - as usual !

Nana and I continued the tradition of celebrating the "Feast of 7 Fishes" this year,although we did so for the first time in Vermont. The calamari and lobster was lovely no matter where we cook it.

How nuts! :) Do you have a desire to drink it again??

We received a full bottle of what appears to be a high end grappa as a birthday present. But considering that neither of us are huge fans (lighter fluid sounds about right from my experience) we are at a loss as to what to do with it. I need to do a little more research to find a recipe which will use up my bottle!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155615554517013920.post-83069878916158550462011-12-22T05:28:59.521-08:002011-12-22T05:28:59.521-08:00Thanks Denise, I needed the right dessert for our ...Thanks Denise, I needed the right dessert for our Christmas eve seven fishes dinner.
