My Dad's family was English / British Isles descended, so the usual (turkey, white rolls, potatoes, apple pie). My Mum's family, on the other hand, were Russian / Ukrainian. So a week after the Roman Christmas, all that side of the family would assemble at my Baba and Dedu's house for the Orthodox Christmas celebration. OMG, talk about food! Pickled beets, roast lamb, vereniki, blintzi, and anything Baba could figure out how to cook. Delicious!
