christmas dinner

on christmas day, my family headed to portland to meet up with the rest of the bee hive...haha. yes, i said that. this year we met at my aunt sue's for a delicious dinner! of course as soon as we got there she had snacks which were very dangerous. if it were up to me, every meal would be a meal of appetizers. perhaps that's why i love dim sum so much.

anyway, she hit up costco which meant there were little spanakopitas and spinach artichoke parmesan dip (you know what i'm talking about). and then my aunt had smoked salmon that she caught herself, and another aunt brought homemade paté. mmmmm.

for the actual meal we had prime rib which was cooked pretty well--lots of pink in the middle and then a ham my aunt made which was excellent. i'm not sure how she made it--i should've asked but it tasted like it was somehow infused with orange which definitely made it yummier.

as for sides we had baked potatoes, broccoli, another dish of potatoes, salad, CORN (love it), and salad. i wanted to die i was so full. i was definitely in fetal position for a while!
