So Christmas dinner will certainly be

interesting, and will leave us full for several days afterwards. I’m helping my uncle cook it this year after a gap in helping prepare last year. 6 courses, and none are low-carb friendly, not that I practice low carb. If Dr.Bernstein were dead, he’d be spinning in his grave.

1) Antipasto – salamis, cheeses, olives, and breads amongst a few other peppers and meats
2) Waldorf Salad – spring greens, razor sliced apples, walnuts, all in a home made mayo/ranch dressing
3) Italian Wedding Soup – an Escarolle soup with hand made meat balls and hand made fusilli
4) Pasta – Hand made shells stuffed with ricotta baked in home made ragu and hand made linguine with hand made meat balls cooked in a pot of the same ragu
5) Prime Rib with fixins – cooked on a low heat for 8 hours and served with all the normal holiday sides
6) Limoncello Tiramisu, Apple Strudel, and Amaretto cheesecake – all made at home.

I’m probably going to need an entire pump’s worth of insulin to cover this meal, and I’ll probably have no regrets doing so.
