A Success

Since I'm sure you have all been on pins and needles wondering about my Christmas Feast, I'll fill you in...It was a SUCCESS!  I even have the pictures to prove it...

{The base to the rice.  Mmmmm}

Now onto the meat.  Also a huge success.  We had the traditional turkey, and a Puerto Rican style ham, pernil.  It's juicy.  It's flavorful.  It's delicious.

If you're wondering about Menu Monday, it's not happening.  Frankly, I can't even think about food right now.  Maybe ever.  I consumed enough calories in one day to last me a week.
