The Ten Days of Carpmas

I had to cook for a crowd (of four – double my usual Carpmas audience) so I decided on an old staple of the North American diet: The Tuna Noodle Casserole.

I used All-Dressed potato chips instead of bread crumbs for the topping.

Here is the photo evidence:

Instead of carp I chose Tilapia accompanied by a basic creamy style potato salad. The hard boiled eggs were meant to add colour, but I cooked them too long – the yolks greyed – I brushed them with food dye. I’ll do pretty much anything for a good food photograph, especially at the end of a long hard blogging period…

Happy Carpmas to all – and to all a good night…

I typed half the question into Google. It knew. I was immediately frightened:

Tom finds this article on Boing Boing and Capri emails it to me moments later.

Ruth gives me this card –

Then…

Mary gives me this card –

And as a capper and fourth thing, Tom brings home hamburgers for dinner but chooses a fish-wich for himself.

Very odd indeed.

There will soon be photos of fish and potato salad in this spot… but later… after I sleep, work and cook.

In the meantime – may you all have a Happy Carpmas in your respective time zones.

This year we found us some trout…

"Yum"

Carpmas 2008

Christmas Dinner (err…. ahhh… I mean Carpmas) with the Frinters. Counter-clockwise around the table starting with the bottom left: Marcela, Oto, Michal, Albert, Filip and Jakub at the head of the table. The photo was taken by Silvie who promises me that she will find a way to be in the photo next year.
