Christmas Dinner and the Suckling Pig
Whew! Where to start; where to start? We love the Holidays but they sure are a lot of work with all of the decorating, shopping, wrapping, cooking and cleaning, picking the kids up at the airport, traveling to see Dad, etc. No time for blogging, our feet hurt, and our backs and legs ache but, as always, our hearts are full of joy as another successful Christmas is now in the books. Lots of smiles and laughter with food, food, food and then more food. I’ve gained 8 lbs. 😮 It was well worth it, especially for the delectable suckling pig that formed the centerpiece of Christmas dinner. Now, let’s see…In addition to the pfferneusse and springerle cookies, we served Baby Lady’s green bean casserole (bottom of photo below pig – she liked it so much on Thanksgiving we had it again), apple-fennel dressing (top of the photo), Italian cream cake from Central Market (Knothead’s favorite dessert), Bourbon pecan pie from Two Fat Cats Bakery in Portland, Maine (courtesy of our youngest son, Knothead – I ate an entire pie when we were in Portland visiting),
spiced apples to serve with the smoked suckling pig
zucchini bread, deviled eggs, Central Market chile marinated olives, and tomato camembert tart. It was a remarkable meal and, while everything was really delicious, the real star of the show was the pig and the pig is what this post is really all about. 🙂

Mediterranean Inspired Swordfish on Linguini
There are just some days you don’t know what to do for dinner. You have lots of wonderful ingredients but for some reason you just can’t piece it together. Then, Baby Lady calls and says she wants a green couscous as part of dinner. What do you do????? Well, in this case, something completely different. 😮 Glad she liked it but she’s still complaining about the lack of couscous. 🙂 Continue reading Mediterranean Inspired Swordfish on Linguini
Coq au Vin
Coq au vin is one of those quintessential French dishes that is so popular that virtually every French family has its own coq au vin recipe. Although I’m by no means French, this is one of my favorite meals and this is my version of coq au vin. It made for a stunningly delicious meal the other night. I used a beautiful Malbec from Argentina for the red wine which produced a dark, inky purple sauce. It’s rather regal in color don’t ya think? Continue reading Coq au Vin
