Your holiday dinners?

I use to meet my parents on late afternoon 24th, and then we have a slow raclette all evening long: potatoes, French (not Swiss) Raclette cheese and for me medium old Gouda as well (Raclette for the creamyness

, Gouda for the taste and a crispy surface), cherry tomatoes (which of course are lousy at this time of the year), Salami, and for my parents also ananas (which i absolutely hate), all this usually with a red wine, and afterwards a strong double Espresso. The nice thing with Raclette is that it is very social, and takes time. You can kill hours and hours.

Yesterday I ate nothing, it was my fastening day anyway, I skip eating every four days, and do 16/8 interval fasting on the three other days. Its now my life style.

Today, I had a feast for myself, alone. 2x 2 1/2 minutes fried Lamb steaks, marinaded in mustard with a bit yoghurt and fried with all the mustard, served in mint sauce (my style), with boiled potatoes and fresh green beans and bacon, and a Weinschorle (red wine spritzer). I do not cook the sauce the English way, but do an ordinary light (not dark) gravy, with only very mild seasoning of salt and pepper only, since I use plenty of fresh mint leafs, which I also do not chop. I also use three drops of mint oil per 250 ml gravy. 4 are too much, 2 are too little, 3 is just about right. My Mum almost dropped dead when I told her, but after she tasted it some time ago, she now drops others dead to get their mint oil.

One of my most favourite meals. And kind of refreshing.

No bad breath after eating.

No, the green stuff on the left side is no spinach

Looks kind of rude, but is extremely delicous. Several people have stolen the recipe from me now.

The nice thing with interval fasting is that I can eat like that as often as I want - and still lose weight.

From 90 down to 80 kg in two and a half months, still falling.

What recipes do you have for christmas and special event dinners that are worth to be stolen?
