Blog Challenge: Day 9

Today's theme is fun! I'm supposed to share my favorite holiday recipe(s), but I don't make any of the amazing food for Christmas, so I don't have the recipes. Instead I will just tell you about my favorite holiday foods, in no particular order.

Pumpkin Roll!

My dad makes pumpkin roll better than you will ever taste anywhere else. I sometimes get mad when people say "I made a pumpkin roll this weekend and it was so good". Bull. It couldn't have been that good because to my knowledge, my dad was not at your house making pumpkin roll.

Oysters!

I said in another post that my grandmother makes fried oysters on Christmas Day for lunch. I could go down the street to Moby Dick or Hungry Pelican and get fried oysters any time of the year, if I wanted. But I don't want to. Oysters on Christmas Day are magical and delicious. Magically delicious. Oysters are so stinkin' ugly (never look at one when you eat it!) but they're sooo good. Especially when served with homemade hush puppies.

Cream Puffs!
Imagine custard filled pastry drizzled with chocolate sauce. Then picture it as big as your face. I live for things like this.

Chik Fil A/ Naked Potato Salad!

At Dia's house, we have had Chik Fil A chicken nuggets the past several years. Chik Fil A is delicious. Christmas is a wonderful time. Christmas chicken nuggets are just wonderful. I look forward to them from the moment that I get past feeling so full from my delicious Christmas lunch. Also, Dia makes potato salad with no pickles or whatever (which dad and Mammaw always put pickles in there) and even though I thought it was crazy at first, it's actually really good. And it's even better when it sits on my plate next to my chicken nuggets.

Ham!

I'm not a big fan of meat that does not come from chickens, but sometimes my dad makes ham, and it's good. My brother, who for years and years would eat nothing but chicken, macaroni, and Vienna sausages, dreams about this ham all year long. I don't know why it's so good, but it is.

Sorry I don't have recipes for any of this stuff. Even if I did, I kind of doubt I'd share. It's less special that way. :)
