Merry Holidays

to all from the Bottom Feeder!  

Regardless of how or what you celebrate.  Be grateful for your friends and family..they are what keeps you going.

Today I made cocktail sauce from the Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook, my (soon to be famous) Pimento Cheese Spread (a la Garden and Gun); a dry rub for our Christmas Eve little chicken, and prep continues for the arrival of FOJTE and wife tomorrow!  Down the chimney he came (via ORD from STL!!)  Tonight is his traditional Christmas Eve dinner, which I wish we could share.  I am sure a glass will be lifted toward Maryland as will one from Maryland to St. Louis and Kansas City.

with love and thanks from the
Bottom Feeder and as always
Bon Appetit
