Cold cuts and cheese and
scrimps  


then we had Lentils with sausages ,It is a italian tradition, we think they bring money for the new year, so i made every one eat some even if they did not care for Lentils .
Then my mom made meat roles with sauce , and pasta to , but forgot to take the picture, sorry and Saltin' Bocca alla romana , it is veal with hame and sage sprinkled with some flower  and cooked in a little of oil , very good .Risotto with Mushroom and sausage , that i forgot to take the picture... with mashed potato and Corn.





We had dessert to , well very yummy dessert, cream cheese cake and pine apple casserole but well forgot to take pictures there to, sorry, not very good at it anymore , i was to busy eating....
