Christmas Eve Eve Dinner
For the past three years, Christmas Eve Dinner has been preceded by Christmas Eve Eve Dinner. Whereas Christmas Eve Dinner always has at least one meat course, Christmas Eve Eve Dinner is always meatless. There are also usually fewer of the meat-and-potatoes-only crew too, and everyone present also cooks, so this meal is becoming the most flavored and favored of the Holiday feasts.
This year on Christmas Eve Eve, The Great PunkyDunky made his incomparable Shrimp Creole, taken from the Who's Your Mama, Are You Catholic and Can You Make A Roux?' Creole cookbook.
Plotnik made cornbread with Kalamata olives and diced green chiles.
Two years ago Jess's Indian-flavored Garbanzos were a big hit, made by the Great BeezieWeezie, but this year Jess herself was here, so she made them.
The Noozle, aka Fefnik, made her famous Persian Shirin Polo, which is rice flavored with orange peel and spices.
Of the many pie choices available, Ducknik made apple.
And how did Plotnik and Ducknik feel about the whole deal?

'scuse me, we have not tasted that corn bread!
Looks good. All that's missing is pecan pie....
Speaking on behalf of the shrimp, I'm pretty sure "meatless" would have meant a LOT less shrimp and a LOT more Brussels sprouts and tofu.
Speaking on behalf of me, that all looked very good, especially the shrimp creole.
