Social Feedia

The holidays mean getting social in the original sense of the word… spending time with family and friends that know what you’re going to tweet before you tweet it…

My Christmas Eve morning kicked off with a a home-cooked breakfast and a strong-brewed cup of coffee. Time in the kitchen spent rolling Cream Cheese Meltaways into little balls before dipping them in a lemon glaze was a great way to wrap up the morning. 

As the little snowball-shaped Meltaways began to disappear a winning appetizer recipe was already in the works… courtesy of the New York Giants. 

Christmas Eve dinner included prime rib. Slow-roasted with a salt crust…

…medium rare on the edges and rare in the center - Mmmmm…

…with a side of garlic cinnamon mashed sweet potatoes and an arugula salad with locally grown tomato.

And now, completely satiated after a delicious meal, we all retire to our places in front of our laptops, tablets and cell phones to commence sharing holiday wishes with our social networks.  But what’s that?  The smell of cinnamon coming from the kitchen? Did someone say Bread Pudding… with meringue and whiskey cream sauce?  Social media will have to wait -
