Christmas Eve 2008

We had a fabulous Christmas with our family. Dawn made a delicious Cioppino (fish soup) for Christmas Eve dinner. Jessica, Scott and I helped a little by prepping the fish. Dawn made the base the day before. Man was it fabulous! It was so good with sourdough bread.

Jessica worked with her mom to make stockings for her husband and herself that afternoon too. Then Scott, Dawn, and I took a little break for tacos and beer at the Red Wave Inn. This is a little college bar that Scott and I visited near Fresno State back in the mid 80s. Well, Jessica and Dave rediscovered it recently and shared that it was a great place. We agree. The beer selection was wide and cold, the music was good and the tacos were tasty. And did I mention the the prices were amazingly low.

After our treat, we returned home to host Eric, Scott, Jessica, David, and his parents, Bill and Susan, for Christmas Eve dinner. The company was enjoyable and the food was delicious. In addition to the Cioppino we served sourdough bread, clam chowder, and spinach salad. It was a great evening.
