Chinese food for Christmas

[saildog]

We don't like to deal with cooking a big meal, and use this as an excuse to get takeout from one of the nicer places in the area.

I'm licking my chops at that menu photo. Definitely not the choices I am used to seeing at the joints local to me.

Ah, Chinese food on Christmas is a big Jewish tradition, for many years my wife took a big group to Kung Pao Kosher Comedy in San Francisco on Christmas.

We usually stick to turkey, but once in awhile have lobster instead.

One of my former bosses, a master chef from Guizhou, used to eat the SAME breakfast/lunch every single day: Bowl of white rice, crack two eggs on top, add some soy and Spiracha, cover the bowl for two minutes - enjoy.

One of my favourite breakfasts is Japanese style: bowl of white rice with a fried egg on top. Then mixed together with some shouyu (Japanese soy sauce). Very tasty!

I'll walk you guys through the basic 'sugary' recipe sometime, the one that they serve in 90% of the rests. in the U.S. and Canada.

I'd love to try that.

I'm sure "real" Chinese food is good, but i'd much rather stick with the fake American versions

Will there be photos?

I wasn't thinking about it...mmm...perhaps just the prime rib...not the entire dinner...I'm kinda lazy today...but I'll take a couple of pictures...just for you...

The family usually gets together and everyone brings a dish...... for me take out is not for the Holidays, but that's just me.

The only Chinese food I eat at Christmas time are Mandarin Oranges.

I starve Christmas Eve...Old Fashioned/Old Country Italian X-Mas at my house. Fish/Seafood and more seafood. 1st course starts with Linguini and Clam sauce...the white sauce and not the red. Then comes the main course(s)...Lobster, Jumbo Shrimp, Calimari, Scallops, Octopus, and Flounder. Thank God for my nephew being another one in the family that's not big on fish...we get to eat Linguini with sauce and Breaded Chicken Cutlets. I always look forward to desert during Christmas Eve. Italian Pastries and Juniors Cheesecake from Brooklyn.
