Christmas New Years 2022. What plans have been made to celebrate have been altered to fit the New Mandate Covid rules. So, it’s going to be New Years at Home with my Sweetie.
Nothing brings in the new year better than a Surf and Turf. When I was a cook at the Toronto Keg Mansion, knowing how to grill a good filet and broil a lobster tail was a job that over the years I’ve had lot’s of practise at. Next few days I will be picking out this years
surf & turf recipe items. My first New Years back in Ontario after 25 years should be a special one
Nothing makes these holidays better than being surrounded by family and friends. I’ve been isolated several times in my resort cooking career being cut off by power failures, avalanche, road closures and major transportation for flying along with bad weather shut downs.
So having a simple cache on hand was learned from experience. I was able to pull off some fairly great Holiday Christmas and New Year meals with meager pantry ingredients. Bad weather, no power and being caught in a rustic cottage one can enjoy the solitude or be upset that it’s not going as planned. Some cooler food items, aluminum foil, salt pepper, and the only source of heat is a fire place. 
Rock Paper Scissor and the choice is a Fondue for Two.
Best way to decide what to have for a nice holiday meal.
Dippers include Meat balls, roast potatoes, kabosa, shrimp, kimchi, picked herring, toasted fig bread cubes, fruit and veg chunks and a hot fondue pot with a trio of melted gooey cheeses. A artisan Lemon Tart and Hazelnut Tiramisu make it a nice dinner at home.
