We cycle new traditions in all the time. A recent one was Cream of Gorgonzola Soup with Prime Rib. No Prime Rib tomorrow, but Roast Beast with concentrated, ex-pot-roast wine gravy. We'll marinate the thawed beast when he comes home shortly. (He likes his own cooking best, so I'll let him marinate.)

One of Hardi's Christmas Eve traditions was Oyster Stew, but I have a milk intolerance so I'm weaning him over to P-Vine's Excellent Egg Gravy. (Less milk, easier to tolerate with the Lactaid.)

Another recent one is Indian food for an Advent break, and tonight we will repeat last year's between-services picnic in the Parish Hall so he can eat before going over to a neighboring, clergy-lacking church for the second of three evening services and have some energy left for the BIG one-- the Midnight Mass.
