Merry Christmas!

Mary Lee and I got to visit my Mom and Dad this Christmas in Naples, Florida.
We did hit the beach and rode some bikes, did some shopping. Holiday Florida
stuff...
but the story is in the food

Florida Christmas Tree


Folks took us out to a tavern on Captiva called the Mucky Duck


Then on Christmas Eve we cooked some shrimp at home




and opened some gifts.


On Christmas day Dad upped the ante with this gorgeous beef tenderloin. Here he's inserting fresh garlic.


..carving with his favorite knife.


Perfect


Christmas Citrus salad


Christmas plate


Afterwards Mom brought out an Ice Cream Cake.


Here Ralph digs in to a corner slice.


Merry Christmas
