Daisy, I am simply shocked that you do not host a $2500 champagne and bloody mary breakfast on Christmas morning to which all 250 of your closest friends and relatives and neighbors are invited, followed by a gift exchange. You Scrooge. Do you not know the True Meaning of Christmas?
Speaking of Chinese food at Christmas, the centerpiece of my meal is a whole roast duck, peking-style, from Chinatown. In my local Chinatown, the roast ducks are already cooked and ready to go like fast food, no waiting or pre-ordering. They are sold not at fancy restaurants but at places that resemble diners. They are absolutely delicious and the bones and skin make an absolutely delicious soup the next day.
