just an old fat guy with a lot of family which means a lot of birthdays thus creating many birthday meals. BarBQ, pasta dishes, pork, fish, all meats, all seafood , potatoes, all veggies, soups, chowders, casseroles and pretty much everything. I'm not big into desserts and sweets though, I enjoy eating them Definetly holidays. When two large families merge and almost everybody has something special to contribute. Long live this tradition for our grandchildren to carry on. cooking for large crouds on many occasions and satisfying everybody. A Thansgiving dinner the first year I married my wife. She is a nurse and had to work. The turkey was a gift from my employer and was the fattiest most disgusting bird I've ever seen. The stuffing was more like grease gravy I had to find an open store and buy a $3 loaf of bread to save it.
