Christmas Day Dinner Menu on board the U.S.S. Case, December 25, 1926 (from the holiday menu collection at the U.S. Navy Department Library).

I have kept a log of our evening meals since Saturday, January 27, 2007 (BBQ baby back ribs and Nassau Grits). The intention was to help with the daily questions, "What do you want for dinner tonight?" and "What haven't we had lately?"
