julia's holiday list.

Favorite meal at Luce:

Cardoons and olives in oil

Arancini

1/2 romaine salad with anchovy

Mussels with tomato sauce

(onion focaccia is a must with this)

Lambrusco to drink!

Favorite family holiday tradition:

Just a few years ago my parents introduced a new tradition to our christmas routine which quickly became one of my favorites. A pickle ornament is hidden in the tree on christmas morning and whoever is the first to find it opens the first present. I most likely enjoy this tradition because i am the raining pickle champion of the family, having found the pickle 3 out of 4 years running. One year, after yet another victory for yours truly, my brother was visibly distraught, what better way to kick off the holiday!
