THE ITALIAN SEAFOOD DINNER

Christmas Eve to Italians means a large seafood dinner. Previously Adolph and I would have the family for Christmas Eve- Italian tradition as well as Christmas Day-Canadian tradition. This year it was just the two of us so we went upscale with not only the usual dishes Adolph likes to make such as bacala soup, scallops, shrimps, calamari rings but Canadian lobster tails. We said a toast to Mama- who passed away 12 years ago. She taught Adolph how to cook his delicious dishes so the Di Mambro traditions carry on. Do you do something special on Christmas Eve?
