Christmas-Kwanzaa Green Nog

Christmas-Kwanzaa green nog for two:

Blend 1 banana, 1/2 of an avocado, 2 to 2 and 1/2 glasses of milk (to suit your taste for thickness and texture), honey, 1 to 2 pine needles or a squeeze of lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and/or allspice, and optionally vanilla extract or rum. This is a room-temperature or cold beverage, as neither banana nor avocado cooks well nor is as tasty when heated or cooked.

Salmon Spaghetti -- More Good-Grubbing, Lip-Smacking House Cuisine

Salmon Spaghetti, aka Soul-food Salmon Spaghetti: 1. Stew spiced tomato sauce (spiced with paprika, cayenne pepper, oregano and the cook's favorite appropriate spices for spaghetti sauce) with a little olive oil and with mushrooms (whole or sliced fresh button mushrooms, or canned whole button mushroom), chopped garlic, onions, tomato and pit-free whole and/or minced olives. To thicken the sauce, add tomato paste 2. After the veggies in the sauce are carefully and slowly cooked fully to tenderness, add plenty of well washed and chopped fresh-salmon halved cross-cuts (steaks) with the skin, and optionally prawns or shrimp, and slowly cook in full. 3. Either pour the cooked spaghetti sauce-stew into the fully soft-boiled spaghetti in the pot, first drained of water, or portion pour it per plate, with a ladle or large serving spoon, over the plates with the hot spaghetti on them (some folks like a little butter over their spaghetti on the plate before the sauce is poured).
