December 26, 2012: The Family Feast! A Blog Talk Radio reminder!

Mom preps for the family feast.

The family feast is a holiday tradition we have celebrated since way back when.  Over time, the faces at the table may have changed but the turnout has always been…let’s call it robust.  Yesterday, we all gathered at my cousin Marolyn’s place for the BIG holidays meal…

The spread includes mom’s pasta and eggplant parmesan, and Akemi’s gravlax.

Dessert!

Lola and Akemi take a break.

There were seventeen of us in all.  In hindsight, I should have taken more photos of cousins, aunts, and nephews but, damnit, those dogs were so goshdarn cute!
