Feast of the Seven Fishes

We are planning a Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas eve with one of our italian friends. will be alot of fun even if it's just us. (besides it's kristines birthday and what better way to celebrate THAT than with TONS OF FISH!)

wiki it for a little background. here's a taste:

Italians around the world celebrate Christmas Eve with a Feast of the Seven Fishes, also known as La Vigilia.

It is a meal that consists of, typically, seven different seafood dishes. Some Italian families have been known to celebrate with 9, 11 or 13 different seafood dishes. This celebration is a commemoration of the wait, Vigilia di Natale, for the midnight birth of the baby Jesus.

we're doing our own fish thing though...
