Welcome, welcome to the Last Minute Christmas Carnival of the Recipes, otherwise known as CotR Edition #122. We have many wonderful dishes for your Christmas cookery and beyond. To steal a phrase from Triticale the wheat guy, "Dom Eatimus, Eatamus" - which I gather loosely translates to "while we eat, let us eat". Amen!
Now, on with the Carnival!!

There you have it. Hope I didn't forget anybody, but feel free to holler at me if I did. Next week's Carnival will be hosted at Booklore. Submit your recipes via email to recipedotcarnivalatgmail.com, or use the Blog Carnival submit form.
Enjoy the holidays, everybunny!
Hominey is dried corn, soaked in lye-water. If it is cooked in lye-water, it is the Mexican version called posole. If the hominey is ground fine, it becomes grits. If posole is mashed together as a dough, it is masa that is used to make tamales.
Thank you for the fine Carnival.

Great decorations, but it's all the glorious aromas from the kitchen that have me captivated by this carnival!
