Recipe for Making a Bomb Christmas Dinner

Very unorthodox Christmas, but if I have learned anything from Euro-snow nearly ruining our plans due to inability for Europeans to work without freaking out and running out of de-icing liquid, it is that Christmas is where family and good company is. So here in pictures is how I rocked the Christmas dinner and how you can too. No real quinessential "Christmas" roast but still good rustic food with some European and Californian influence. Hope everyone had a good one and enjoy the photos:


Portugese Kale Soup:




1. Add stuff

2. Put it in a pot with stock and simmer

3. Pour it into a bowl

Salad: put greens together and make a dressing. Straight forward:

Pasta with Clams and White Wine:

1. Get clams





2. Get Pancetta

3. Cut up some Parsley

4. Put stuff together, add some white wine and some hot pepper for a kick and serve

Duck Breast with beet roots and watercrest:

1. Get some foil, put the beets in there with rosemary, olive oil, salt/pepper, and balsamic and pop in the oven for 35 minutes at 400F

2. Once that's ready cook your duck and put it on top. Make sure you rest it so the juices redistribute into the meat.

Should be pretty straight forward ya? Haha. Anywho hope everyone out there is enjoy Christmas and having a wonderful break. Was going to write a post about London but got too lazy so just check the album on FB. Anywho, love peace and chicken grease.
