Teenage T-Rex Christmas eats....

[Dub]

Well.....he's not a teenager anymore.

Little guy is a semester shy of graduation....but I believe he's gonna go ahead and get his masters.

He came home for some dinner last night and breakfast today. His momma and I sure were grateful to all be together.





It's been tradition in my family since I was a kid that we have shrimp creole for dinner on Christmas Eve. Mom always made a huge pot and she made a sausage, egg & cheese casserole with cheese grits for breakfast Christmas Morning. My grandmother would bring over country ham biscuits, too.


Well...don't cook near as often as I used to but got something fit to eat ready.




Creole simmering a good long while.






Slid a plate full of shrimp into the pot once everyone was almost ready to eat.














Son was killing off a second bowl and tickled me something fierce. He'd sopped up as much of the remainder with the croissant.....but then I look up and see him pouring what was left in his spoon. I told him there was hyooge pot for him to get all he wanted.

Good to know it was fit to eat.













Breakfast today...cheese grits, s-e-c casserole and a quiche.




















I have some more shrimp on layaway hidden away in the fridge with plans for shrimp'n'grits later.










Merry Christmas everyone.


God bless you all.

It's strange to sit here thinking, I've never met your family, yet I've watched that lanky young man grow up. He has always been a blessing to you.

58 years and it never occurred to me to pour the last drops from the bowl to the spoon.

I have always tipped the bowl and scraped with the spoon.

I have learned a new trick today.

I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks....

 

[Dub]

He taught me a new trick with that one, too.


I need to pay more attention......with his grades he could likely be teaching me a heap of useful stuff. Kid is smart like his mom.

We are all hanging in there, sir. Still in the fight and landing solid punches. Chin up and faith is strong.


Hope you are doing well.

Thank you. Same to you, boss.

I don't drop in often enough....but every single time I see you've been rolling out some deliciousness. Always a welcome sight, too.
