  • Merry Christmas from Epic Portions

    Hope everyone has a great Christmas.  The Moors family has already gone through 10 bottles of champagne, bacon wrapped sirloin skewers, an entire Costco chicken pot pie, and a whole lot of cheese.  Tonight we feast on twice baked potatoes and pepper steak.

    In celebration of the greatest holiday ever, I give to you the greatest Christmas song ever.
