Usually we got out for Chinese on Christmas Eve (inspired from the Christmas Story of course). This year we did something different and accepted an invitation from our neighbors to join them at Salty’s – a famous seafood restaurant on the Columbia River.
I started with seafood chowder, while Emily got the bruschetta platter. My entree was rock fish with shrimp and artichokes. Emily got cauliflower steak and roasted yams. Jasmine got a cheese burger and fries. For dessert we got vanilla creme brulee and baked alaska.
The festive decor and fine dining was a nice prelude to the holiday.
