MERRY CHRISTMAS


I came down to North Carolina to celebrate Christmas. Andrea and Mac threw a party for my family and friends. Phil was in charge of decorations. Andrea made my all time favorite, ham biscuits. She also had a giant pile of ham and sausages, and some cheeses she brought home from a recent trip to England. We had Zuppa di pesce, with clams, shrimp and wild striped bass and crusty bread to sop up the broth. Outside, near the wood burning oven, Mac set up a clam and oyster shucking station. We utilized last years gift: Clam Rams, to open the raw clams. My nephew Zach figured out how to use it and tried his first raw clam, he liked it.

  6. Hi Dave,
    I've been reading eatdavelove I think since near it's inception, but I never commented before. Are those Ritz crackers on the second cheese plate?- if so beyond brilliant I'm totally stealing it (I love how they are served non-ironically). Rob and I have also been behind a Boursin revival.
