so ladies, is anyone practicing for married life

by hosting/cooking/contributing food for the holiday festivities this weekend (Christmas eve and day, and the beginning of the lovely festival of lights, Chanuka)

on Christmas Eve, I am going to FSIL's house in Brooklyn and making seafood stew, pizza bianca, and 2 desserts.

On Christmas Day, I am making fried shrimp and something else (not sure yet) and goping to my aunt's house in Lloyd Harbor.

going to Chinatown at lunch to purchase all of the fish. yum yum

Re: so ladies, is anyone practicing for married life

For the last couple of years, I've contributed to Christmas Eve with my family and Thanksgiving with his family with my chocolate peanut butter pie, but with the wedding, I've slacked. I'll pick up again next year (only I'll make something that's not so artery clogging).
