Making this:

A great recipe for a Le Creuset Dutch oven that incorporates a whole chicken, tomato paste, and pasta is the Roasted Chicken all'Arrabbiata. This one-pot meal combines a crisp, roasted chicken with a flavorful tomato sauce that the pasta soaks up at the end of cooking.

1 whole chicken, about 4 pounds
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 teaspoons Kosher salt, divided
1 bulb garlic, halved
1 onion, peeled and quartered
½ cup white wine
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1 pound rigatoni pasta
Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Chopped fresh Italian parsley for garnish

Salad and garlic bread as the sides.

around noon celebrate the feast of the 7 fishes. this year it's smelts, shrimp, snow crab clusters, calamari, flounder, Baccala and bluefish in tomato sauce. Dad didn't go catch eels this year and the fish market didn't get any. dinner tonight is baked ziti followed by Ham with all the trimmings

Wieners and sauerkraut…KIDDING!! We have Cornish hens at my companion’s place. He hired a cook to prepare the food and a piano player to entertain us. Should be fun. But I will eat no sweet junk. Fruit for dessert. Maybe a glass of wine. Merry Christmas!

I had a piece of toast and two slices of pepper jack cheese. I wasn't hungry but now I am. Gonna be a long night.

A Christmas wafer with honey, bread buns with milk and poppy seeds as a starter, then sauerkraut soup with pork meat, sausages and mushrooms and as a main course it's fried fish with potato-mayo salad, like Olivier but without ham and parsley.
