I wish I had arranged the food on the plate with a view to taking the above picture, but it was such a gorgeous meal I had to take (and use) the picture anyway. Of course there was lots of cooking and eating during the Dietz visit part of Christmas, but this is the only meal that I remembered to get out my camera for. At other times we ate Penne with Roasted Peppers, Peas, and Cream from The Splendid Table (wonderfully easy and the most I've ever enjoyed prosciutto), ginger chicken I'd been meaning to try (requires scarcely any effort on the day served unless you, like me, pour the juices into a glass pitcher to serve and the pitcher splits in two, spilling hot, sticky sauce all over the kitchen), and ham and eggs (which I'm not sure I've ever served before but definitely will again). |

As for the meal in the picture: I wish I could eat it all again right now. There was Cuban roast pork, a fresh ham marinated in orange, lemon, and lime juice with lots of onion and garlic. Beautiful green Kale and Potato Puree was rich, simple, and comforting. The Smoked Chile Cream on the Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges provided a spicy kick for anyone who needed it. (There were also plain roasted sweet potato wedged for those who prefer no kick.) And this time my mom remembered to make the salad.
