I have Christmas on the brain tonight (probably since I really won't have a break until then) and I wanna talk food! What's your favorite holiday food? Drink? Memory associated with those?
I love vegetable pizza (crescent roll crust, ranch-flavored cream cheese with tiny vegetables and shredded cheese), but as far as hot foods are concerned, I loved my grandma's home-baked buns. She baked her own buns right up until the day she moved into assisted living. My favorite drink is the sherbet punch we make for Christmas - it's Diet Sierra Mist and lime sherbet, mixed together until it looks right.
My favorite food-related holiday memory is from an Easter several years ago - BF and I had just started dating. My uncle brought two bottles of locally-made wine. One was chokecherry and the other was strawberry, I believe. He opened the wine before lunch and we all started drinking it. Rotgut would be a kind description. So all around the kitchen we were saying things like "This is awful! Hey, have you had any of this yet?" BF was watching us quietly until we realized he hadn't had any. So we naturally offered him the wine. I believe he said something like "No thanks, I'm good," but we made him drink it anyway. I think I even had some of that with lunch, and food did improve it, but it never made a reappearance.
