Nino's was crazy busy like we knew it would be, but we were only there for about 40 minutes. DH dropped me off so I could get started on my list right away while he looked for a parking spot. I had to ask someone in the produce department to restock fennel, and I hadn't seen the Halos (clementines) outdoors and had to go out to get them. They were out of fresh mussels, so DH got a bag of frozen mussels that are already cooked. Our Cioppino will have shrimp, little neck clams, sea scallops, mussels, swordfish, fennel, shallots, garlic, Pinot Grigio, seafood stock, and canned diced tomatoes. We will enjoy it with toasted sourdough bread with garlic/herb butter.
It started snowing just before we were leaving for Nino's, and we drove through a couple of squalls along the way. It snowed heavily while were shopping, and the roads were getting slick and sloppy on the way home. We saw a couple of spinouts, and what appeared to be a multi-vehicle accident at a turnaround just north of a busy intersection. There were several police cars with flashing lights. A few minutes later, an ambulance with lights and siren passed us on the other side of the road; not sure if it was related to the accident. We were glad to get home safely. Instead of cooking, we noshed on a prepackaged charcuterie board with two types of salami, white cheddar, olives, chocolate covered cranberries, and crackers. Looking forward to a lovely dinner at Picano's this evening. We'll record Jeopardy! and It's a Wonderful Life in case we're not home in time.
Have a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with family and/or friends. Stay safe and be well.
