And so it begins

Brooks and Nate arrived last night; Nate for 24 hours before heading to Hawaii and parts unknown for three months, and Brooks for a few days before leaving for Singapore for Christmas. I had a big pot of ham and bean soup ready for the growing gang.  This morning, however, the fare is a big frittata. We are starting to gather for a Christmas dinner out tonight as we usually do except this year it is not on Christmas eve.

                                                                               

Brooks came home around 2:30 and I could not sleep, so I got up at 3:00  and started the fratatta.  I took shredded potatoes and made a big potato pancake in the pan where I fried the pepper bacon which I had  set aside. (I added green onions and jalepeneo pepper to the potatoes.)  So the bottom was the crispy pottato concoction, then the fried pepper bacon, then a layer of cheese, then the whipped eggs with herbs, tabasco, a shot of hot sauce and Bob's your uncle. (Cheese on top at the last minute, of course.)  You cannot hurt a fratatta no matter if you try, it's invincible. 

Now I am working on a seafood chowder for Beth's party on Sunday. She and Mike are having some friends over and she is decorating up a storm.
