Needed to slow down from all the formal Christmas celebrations at family's houses. So tonight is a TV dinner of venison tenderloin, brussel sprouts with cognac apricots dressed in a mustard cream sauce, roasted potatoes, and some assorted cheeses.

Cajun inspired Thanksgiving with oyster dressing, creole seasoned turkey, gumbo gravy, mixed veggies, my classic habenero cranberry sauce, and green bean casserole.

Vitello tonnato, veal rib meat with zucchini, in a vinegar, chili sauce, and asparagus with garlic bread; paired with a rosé and an appertivo of a strawberry rhubarb syrup, Aperol and vermouth and olive juice as the saline element.
