I haven't posted very much about cooking this week. Mostly we've been cycling through some stand-bys like spaghetti and beef stew. This morning we had my family's traditional Christmas morning breakfast:
Fried oysters
Bacon
Scrambled eggs
Biscuits

Our friend Martha had to spend last night in the hospital because she was having trouble breathing as a result of a tumor pressing against her wind pipe. She's home now and resting and will start chemo on Monday. Walter's sister was admitted to the hospital this morning due to severe cramps in her legs and nausea. We're waiting to hear from them. Our friend Dan is in Houston for the next four to six weeks undergoing another round of chemo. Please keep these friends and family in your prayers.
On a cheerier note, my son Cort proposed to his girlfriend Emily last night, the anniversay of their first date, seven - yes, seven - years ago! She said YES, so we're very excited and so happy.
For our Christmas Dinner, we fixed:
Best Ever Beef Tenderloin (Walter pulled the grill into the garage and managed to keep it hot enough)
Green Bean and Artichoke Casserole (from the Commercial Appeal)
Yeast Rolls
Cheesecake (rolls and cheesecake from Stick Boy Bread)
We took a meal over to Albert and Martha and Martha's sister, Becky, who is here from Wilmington to help Martha. Feel better soon, Martha!
I hope that your Christmas Day 2010 has been festive and full of family and love.
