Not sure who's coming over for the holiday other than my aunt's gf. How about you? Any plans?


Nope..... :biggrin: ...if things go well...meat and something...and if they don't.....:pass:...eggs and something.......:d5:.....

And... we'd be okay with either...one of hubbys favourites is sausage egg and chips....:headbang:...

Think that depends on the family we usually have beef prime rib and/or a lasagna but my family always does that something to do with Italians :shrug:


Mmmm yeah a nice beef rib would do for us too.........:chef:....
 
What is dat.....?......

I just had to look it up I’ve always called them rice balls guess I never knew the proper name for them :doh:

Arancini (UK: /ˌærənˈtʃiːni/, US: /ˌɑːr-/,[1][2] Italian:[aranˈtʃiːni]; Sicilian: [aɾanˈtʃiːnɪ, -ˈdʒiː-]; sg.: arancino), also known as arancine (sg.: arancina), are Italian rice balls that are stuffed, coated with breadcrumbs and deep-fried. They are a staple of Sicilian cuisine. The most common arancini fillings are al ragù or al sugo, filled with ragù (meat or mince, slow-cooked at low temperature with tomato sauce and spices), mozzarella or caciocavallocheese, and often peas, and al burro or ô burru, filled with prosciutto and mozzarella or béchamel sauce.
 
What a weird night! :face:
Didn't have much of a problem getting to sleep and I went to sleep at a reasonable hour, I think I got to sleep around 11. I think it was around 2:30 I got woke up. I don't know which woke me up, the headache or the Kittens running around my wrap around porch like they were heard of cattle! There's only two of the little bastards! I don't know how they make so much damn noise for something so little! Not only running around on the porch making noise but slamming each other into the frigging wall!
I seldom get headaches. It kind of felt like a vascular headache , but with a kink in my neck this morning, it's probably with a tension headache. It was probably caused by a weird sleeping position.

I'm pretty sure that the night would have been a disaster with very little sleep if I had not had some infused cookies!
I think something yesterday triggered my PTSD. My bed this morning was completely tore up. That may be why I was in a weird position to get the neck kink and the headache.
I don't know how long it took me to get back to sleep, but the cats woke me up hey little after 7. At least I got a reasonable amount of sleep.

@Mossy
Glad to see you're still kicking!:headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:The bad thing about bugs like that is trying to get your gut biome back in working order!

I don't know if Christmas dinner is the same but, I got to enjoy a Italian Thanksgiving dinner when my sister-in-law's boyfriend invited me to theirs in LA. His mama came in from Chicago and brought all the ingredients to make it with her. She also fixed traditional Thanksgiving turkey and ham. Man, I was in absolute heaven!
And God bless her soul, she was definitely the traditional Italian Mama! I will always remember her popping her son on the back of the head and saying, "Mangiare! Mangiare! Why don't you eat like Bill? Just look how big and strong he is!" And then she comes over behind me and gives me a big hug!
I guarantee you, I made that little Italian mama very proud!:cools:I don't think I have ever eaten that much at a Thanksgiving dinner! I think at Thanksgiving Dinner, it gave me the idea of a bucket list item of eating my way across Italy!
