Christmas Eve Food Log

Breakfast this morning was four potato coquettes and a glass of orange juice. I weighed in at 158 pounds. We had a quesadilla while we cooked.

Gretchen, the woman who despises all type of entertaining, decided that we would not only do Christmas dinner, but Christmas eve dinner as well. We spent the day cooking, and this is what we had. Dinner was marinated sirloin steaks, au gratin potatoes, green bean casserole, dinner rolls, and a three layer, meringue and jam torte. Gretchen&rsquo;s sister made a salad, and her mother had cranberry sauce. We also had a bottle of <a href="http://www.bolla.com/view_wine.asp?nWID=4" title="Bolla Wines of Italy - Open Up">Bolla Pinot Grigio</a>. Alcohol makes a surprisingly effective social lubricant, and the evening was very pleasant, apparently for all involved.</ins>
