ReplyDeleteBuon Natale (Merry Christmas)!! I wrote the same thing on my recent Christmas post how fast time flies lol. I can't believe it's Christmas already.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!! What a great meal for Christmas Eve and you do it with great style! Love your cats dressed up and wish ours would settle for that. Here's wishing you and yours a great Merry Christmas and the best in the New Year, Claudia!
ReplyDeleteA true feast! Merry Christmas to you and yours and give a nuzzle to your Chirstmas cats!
ReplyDeleteA lot of nice looking food. It is only two of us so we just do finger foods, simple but probably highly unhealthy food for our holidays once the big annual party is over.
ReplyDeleteAhh! The seven "fish"...what a feast! Everything is so beautiful, and festive. My two kitties wish yours too, a Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWe are invited tonight to a Sicilian, and a real all American Southern feast, at our dear friends' house.
Claudia-I am so happy that I met you thru foodbuzz, can't thank you enough for your friendship and support, these last few months!
Wishing you and your loved ones, a Very Merry Christmas-Buon Natale!

hey claudia marry christmas and happy new year to u and your family really nice menu!
ReplyDeletewow really great menu merry christmas to u and your family.........
ReplyDeleteSo, officially, the secret reason I wish I was Italian is the Seven Fishes Christmas Eve dinner that all Italians get to enjoy, and all Armenians (namely me) feel bad about, lol. Maybe I should marry an Italian :)
ReplyDeleteClaudia, I am truly pea green with envy that you have practiced and enjoyed the Italian tradition of the Feast of the Seven Fishes! My family is from the Northern mountains and there may have been a river fish here or there, but nothing else! So when I asked my mother why we never celebrated this feast, she explained the geographic reason and their mountain poverty in Northern Italy. I am sure that it is and was perfectly wonderful! I hope your Christmas was beautiful and that you have a blessed New Year! Amore, Roz
ReplyDeleteHi Claudia,
ReplyDeleteI love this page! I finally got around to adding my families menu for The Seven Fishes to my site. You can check it here:
