Re: What are you looking forward to eating over the holidays?
I am hoping that baby lets me enjoy all of our delicious family recipes. She was okay at thanksgiving, but I got sick after one cupcake at dessert. I'll skip the cupcakes this time around and hopefully she'll let me have a slice of pie or two.

It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
Only if you describe what "it all" includes to facilitate easier food fantasizing.

We might just have to do that
Seriously.
We'll start the day at the in laws, opening presents. Then FIL makes a glorious breakfast. Waffles, pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits and gravy etc etc etc etc.
That afternoon/evening we head to my parents house (thank goodness. Every once in a while my sister insists on having it at her house, and her husband cooks weird food) so it'll be ham sandwiches, rotel, summer sausage and 6 different kinds of cheese, cookies, cannoli cups, and other kinds of deliciousness. Mainly, I'm excited about the rotel. I could eat that stuff out of the fondue pot with a spoon if no one would judge me.
I'm not sure what we're doing for New Years Eve, but so long as it includes cheese/sausage/crackers and peel and eat shrimp with cocktail sauce, I don't really care what it is that we're doing.

i'm hoping my mom makes potato salad.
and shrimp cocktail. yum.
and my sister makes a mean peppermint bark.
but i feel like i'm going to have my dr's disapproving face haunting me over every meal. wah.
I'm also making a hot crab dip this year. Never had it before, but I'm really looking forward to it.
