Although I have posted this picture once before, I ask you to notice the background. Once upon a time my family used to have a home in the mountains, memorable for my first steps, learning how to make alphabet-shaped pancakes, a myriad of meals, and countless family memories. Unfortunately, we eventually had to let it go and the house was sold. Well, this christmas season, a good portion of my family went down nostalgia lane and rented out the house. With time, things change. So naturally, there were some changes, but overall the house was almost as we left it... Babe Ruth chairs and all...
For this post, I'm going à la food porn and posting up some drool inducing pictures à la Pavlov's dog. So here's a little peak at my family's christmas feast...
Kaylin's Caesar Salad with romaine lettuce, grated parmesan, tomatoes, and croutons
Some delicious flaky biscuits à la Pillsbury
Roasted Vegetables baby broccoli, yams, mushrooms, bok choy, asparagus, and cauliflower
Mushroom and Parmesan Risotto
For my family of winos and all you other connoisseurs, check out this cult-favorite Napa Valley Duckhorn magnum
Scott picked up some tri tips from the Seaside Market in La Jolla, CA, where they vacuum seal the meat and marinade together. In this case, we got the Cardiff Burgundy Pepper Tri-tip (or as my uncle has dubbed "Cardiff Crack"... It's that good). With industrial strength vacuum sealers on its side, the marinade helps break down enzymes that helps the marinade penetrate the meat and spread the flavor throughout the entire cut! MMMmmmMMMmmm
Then all we did was grill it up! MMMmmmMMMmmm
Then came dessert. My sister who is a great baker made dessert.
Peppermint Bark, Cinnamon Toast Crunch Treats (think rice krispie treats but with cinnamon toast crunch)
Pumpkin Bread
Red Velvet Cake Truffles dipped in White Chocolate
(and as my sister exclaimed when she saw this photo
"Ooh! My balls look so good!")
Helping my sister frost her Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
My sister put Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups in the middle of the cupcake!
And that concludes my delicious Christmas feast of 2010... Happy holidays to all! Get ready for new years!
