This week's theme is another two-fer: Virtual Potluck and Favorite Holiday Tradition.
Virtual Potluck
I'd like to share a kinda-recipe for a Chocolate Trifle, basically you take a box of brownie mix, bake them up, and use that instead of cake. So it's bits of trifle sprinkled with coffee liqueur, chocolate pudding, bananas, whipped cream and chocolate shavings on top. The first time I made it I didn't even get any when it was served.
Favorite Holiday Tradition
Even though we haven't been for the past couple of years, our favorite holiday tradition is going to December Nights here in San Diego. "December Nights" is the new PC name for the event; we still call it by its former name, Christmas on the Prado. It's held the first weekend of December in Balboa Park; all of the museums are free to visit, plus there's a tree lighting ceremony, Nutcracker performances, other musical performances, and people selling Christmas gifts. There's always someone to buy apple cider or hot chocolate or nachos (hey, it is San Diego after all) from. The International Houses are open and usually have traditional holiday fare to sample.
We missed it this year because we were in Tucson for the Arizona (yay Wildcats!)-ASU game, but hopefully we will make it for next year.
