I spent Christmas day at my nephew's house along with many family members, a total of 15. My son and daughter-in-law live in the Atlanta area and we could not get together this year, but with gifts sent and a few telephone calls, they were with us in spirit. That goes for my brother, his wife and his daughter too, always with us in spirit as they live in New York. To me, it's all about family!
The table was full with an antipasto platter, roasted red peppers, stuffed chili peppers with prosciutto, stuffed artichokes, and more, and that was just the appetizers. my nephew prepared the whole dinner. I get such pride in his ability to cook. I believe that my nephew learned how to cook from my Mother, my Dad, and me, as my sister did not like to cook back then. My nephew made a fabulous Eggplant Parmesan. So I have to tell you this story. When my nephew was young I was taking care of him one night. I made eggplant parmesan and told him it was lasagna. He never questioned me about the "lasagna" and he loved it! I guess that is why I take some credit (mainly pride) for my nephew's Christmas day eggplant parmesan. Recipe to follow soon!
