@JudyEv That's also the sort of guinea pig work that you don't have to fill out forms to do

So you buy salmon and prawn that are ready to eat? Do you take turns hosting or is it at the same house every year?

The smoked salmon is ready to eat. Sometiimes we buy raw prawns and sometimes cooked prawns. We used to hire a house for a few days or sometimes we hosted it but there were 11 of us so it was lot to find beds for. The last few years there has only been 9 or us and one family is happy for us to go to their house each year. They have a holiday home with 5 bedrooms each with ensuite so it is ideal for us.

Your plate looks like an appetizing entree. The parsley makes a wonderful garnishing. A happy tradition you and your better half has carried on. It's the cheer we bring others by spending the loveliest season of the year with them that counts. Here's to Christmas and the love we bear for our fellow man.

This sounds good, I like smoked salmon with avocado, may be a pink "cocktail sauce" instead of a tomato sauce would be better.

@JudyEv It is simple but very good. There are some dishes that look sophisticated and they are not. Yesterday evening I made a creamy soup with fennels, potatoes, fresh dill and smoked salmon, a bit of sour cream on top soon before serving.

I don't usually make it to midnight on New Year's Eve. I know you're a day or two older than I am.

I hope nobody has a seafood allergy at your party. I wouldn't be able to eat your entrée. I'm allergic to seafood. But it does look good.

@JudyEv That's good. I used to LOVE eating scallops. If I eat one now, I may as well head straight to the ER. My tongue and throat will start swelling immediately. *sigh*

@DaddyEvil That would be very scary. I have a vague allergy to something. Occasionally when we have Chinese food, an hour or two later I might have some welts on my face. Once my lips starting to swell and go numb so that was a bit worrying.

That looks good. I hope that your get together is lovely. We may stay home this year. We use to go to his Mom and Dad's to ring in the new year. Last year his sister spent the night with her. If we happen to stay in we may or may not be awake to ring in the new year.
