I’ll be eating at my Inlaws and I hope my MIL follows my advice and makes picadillo, which is a ground meat dish that we traditionally eat for Christmas Eve dinner. In addition I suggested shrimp prepared however she wants. The picadillo is usually served with rolls. I like it with rice. I told her to add a salad or some other veggie dish. I hope she takes my advice.
Usually she makes a shrimp broth for a starter. Dinner consists of picadillo, rolls, Bacalao, stuffed sardines, rice, sometimes some tacos, a potato dish, and sometimes another meat dish like pork leg. It’s a ridiculous amount of work and food.
It wouldn’t surprise me if she makes potatoes au gratin also, because her granddaughter loves it.
Then maybe a flan for dessert.
