'Tis the season...

[paraka]

To be eating.

So laii and I were talking. We were talking about food, and decided that there needs to be a meme. A meme in which we share recipes so that we can all try a new dish come Christmas, or whatever it is that you celebrate, or just to try something new.

So to start off, I'm offering up my mom's recipe for broccoli salad.
Ingredients
Part 1
-1 bunch broccoli - chopped fine.
-1 medium sweet onion - diced fine.
-1 apple (Mackintosh) - chopped small.
-1/2 cup raisins.
-1/2 sunflower seeds (optional)

Part 2
-3/4 cup mayo.
-2 Tbsp white sugar.
-1 Tbsp vinegar.
2-3 squirts of lemon juice.

Instructions
Mix Part 2 well, and add Part 1 to the mix. Cooked bacon can be crumbled on top for extra taste.

This recipe can be made early in the day or the night before, but should be refrigerated at least a few hours before serving.

Now share some of your favourite recipes with me!

ooh, that sounds interesting.

Tell me what you prefer, a curry recipe, or my lemon & herb salmon (: (I know, not everyone is a spicy fan, hence the choice)

Okay, I don't have any recipes because I'm not in charge of the Christmas cooking, but I'll tell you about my favourite traditional Christmas foods!

My dad makes all sorts of good things (almost making up for his general uselessness the rest of the year), mostly snacks. "Nuts 'n' Bolts" consists of cheerios, shreddies, various nuts and pretzels roasted with oil and seasonings, and it's really tasty. He also makes seasoned toasted almonds, and candied orange peels. Mmmm. I'm going over there tonight to stuff my face.

My uncle is an expert chocolatier, so Christmas at his house is always good too. Chocolate and shortbread. Mmmmmm.
