    We are Presbyterian Italians but I know the Catholic Italians eat fish only on Christmas Eve. Is this what you mean? And eels – yuk. I keep it simple Christmas Eve with turkey sub sandwiches and potato salad. Christmas Day will be lasagna or spinach cheese ravioli.

      Exactly that is what I meant:) My mother in law cook normal with a little of everything but some family member when we visit them just have fish. Don’t get me wrong Iove fish and is eating it as I type, lol, but for a holiday meal load me up with meat, lol.

      Haha eels. I use to squirm just seeing them now I have no problem eating them. The only thing though I don’t like about them is that they have too much fat in their body. Your Christmas eve and Christmas day meal sound nice. This year we don’t even know what we plan to do. Crazy year, this year is.

        There is a recipe for rolling cookie dough into pencil shapes , making them squiggly. give them bits of cherries for eyes then powdered sugar. Now cookie eels I can eat.

      No, I’ll look that up. Do flying fish count as turkeys?

    What a great story. We Italians often have lasagna then the turkey at Christmas or New Year’s Day. The Eve’s of both pizza or sub sandwiches. I envy the snow thing. Miami’s so hot even ice cubes sweat and wear sun glasses in the freezer! Miami had a 30 second snow flurry in 1977 I think it was.So delighted you visited .

    oh, this cracked me up! My family has been in uproar this year, as my sister, who is hosting, revealed they wanted to present salmon.

    so…someone else said they’d bring turkey.

    in the end, they will make both turkey and salmon…and the funny part?

    we may be snowed in, here, and unable to go there due to icy road conditions…

    guess what I have in my freezer.

    that’s right…
    salmon.

    The irony Gods have arrived.

    Thanks. She’d probably complain about the paper plates too. I’m making lasagna this year. Just posted another cartoon 5 minutes ago. Glad to see other humans up this time even on Saturday!

    Hey! Hasn’t she seen that episode of “Everybody Loves Raymond”? You can eat fish for Thanksgiving…even though people did complain. But still.
    Good luck finding a turkey out in the ocean, Gabe. Ha ha!

    That’s a mighty small island. She better adjust her attitude or else Gabe will be having bitch for dinner instead. 🙂
    I would love fish on Thanksgiving! Turkey is okay, but I love fish of any variety (lake, river, ocean).

      Finally, some empathy for Gabe. He has been putting up with this nagging for 30 years. I am sure the next thing on her list is to complain that there are no coconuts on the tree for dessert.

    I’m sure if Gabe tried harder and if he REALLY loved his wife, he’d find a turkey swimming around in that ocean. SHEESH! Men! And I suppose he’ll expect her to cook AND do the dishes afterwards.

      TerriTerri: You have been very artful here in what I call”spinning the table” also known as “right back atcha”. I will speak to Gabe about his misogynist ways.

    Thank you. Those Pilgrims ya’ll sent over were some mighty tenacious folk with unassailable faith. We are Italian Presbyterians so have special place in our heart for them . We came on broken down ships too. I will probably break tradition and make lasagna with meatballs and sausage on the side. Regards.
