Let's get down to the important stuff! What did you eat for the holiday dinner? Anything special?

We usually do the traditional roast chicken (turkey's too big)-stuffing-mashed potatoes-cranberry but this year Mr. FC did a "chinese" chicken - roasted, basted with soy sauce, ginger, garlic - with rice and steamed veggies. Then managed to plow through half a box of chocolates...Today I make soup with the leftovers. (Leftover chicken & rice, not the chocolates.)

I was thinking about Caroline's multi-fruit/mincemeat pie, but it would have been just too much food - maybe for New Years.

Now this is a thread I can relate to
For dinner with my dad's side of the family, we had shrimp tempura (fried shrimp with bread crumbs), barbecued pork on a stick, chicken stuffed with rice, mushrooms, carrots and other assorted veggies, creamy carbonara pasta, a pizza, some chicken curry and chicken teriyaki, and cupcakes with lots of icing. It's a wonder we were able to go to the church after

And we still have dinner this weekend with my mother's side of the family. Whew!

See the last post on this page. In addition to those things, we also had homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes, and sweet potato "casserole" with marshmallows for dessert.

Well, the Palace chef prepared a nice dinner of baked ham, potatoes, stuffing, squash, turnip, carrots and peas. There was also pickles, olives (green and black), cranberry sauce, ambrosia, strawberry gelatin salad, blueberry bread and banana bread.

For dessert, there was cherry cobbler, peach pie, pumpkin pie and brownies.

Needless to say, none of the Royal Family went hungry this year

So much...oh so much...

Shrimp Cocktail, Roast Beef with carrots, baked ziti and meatballs, sausage and peppers, chicken florentine, stuffed mushroom caps and buffalo wings for Christmas Eve. With a ton of dessert, and lots of Bombay Saphire Gin and Jameson Whiskey!

For Christmas, Turkey, Mashed Potatos with cheese and ham in it (my Aunt's recipe, very good but I don't know what to call it), stuffing, cranberry sauce, Irish Bread, more ziti, greenbean cassorole, and a ton of desserts and appetizers that I'm forgetting.

What's best for me is that I do none of the cooking and a lot of the eating !

For Chritmas Eve, we had pork and beef roasts (done all day in the slow cooker with carrots and a bottle of Pepsi -- turned out very moist) and corn pudding (my mom makes it -- I think it's gross, but everyone else likes it). For dessert, I made a ginger spice cake with molasses and fresh-grated ginger and a ginger pear torte. Both turned out well.

For Christmas, Nana went all out and did corve (Swedish potato sausage), turkey and ham! We also had stuffing and mashed potatoes (my hubby saw what she was doing and wrestled gravy duty away from her -- whew), candied carrots, strawberry Jell-o with strawberries in it, green beans, pasta salad (my hubby's fabulous recipe), and I tried out a new recipe for cranberry sauce I've been waiting for the right event to make. It turned out great and was quite popular.

And my mom brought her Christmas candy both days! It's Rice Krispie treats made with peanut butter and Karo syrup, then topped with a thick mixture of chocolate and butterschotch chips. Mmmmm. I ate way too much of that.

I went to my friends across the street. It was not a traditional Christmas dinner. It started with appetizers of prosciuto on bread sticks, deep fried rice balls stuffed with cheese, and a brie.

The first course, was Moroccan eggplant, fresh crab in the shell, smoked salmon with capers, and sliced roasted beets with slice hard boiled egg. The main course was roast veal stuffed with pork loin, and swiss chard. Dessert was a chocolat torte with pecans.

There was also champagne, lots of good wine and grappa afterwards. They rolled me home.

My friends are Italian and he is a professional chef.

We went traditional for the most part. We did have Caroline's pie, though. It's excellent, like raisin pie with better fruit.

We had a traditional Christmas feast. Lechon Asado (roast pork), Black beans & white rice, Yucca w/mojo augmented with non traditional fare for the unintiated present: Ham, Mashed potatoes & gravy, Carrots, Yams, and Cranberries. All of this made for a very ecclectic picture on the table, I must say!

For dessert there was Flan, Tres Leches, & Turones.

Lots of Wine and Sangria throughout!

Yum!

We had a very traditional one. For starters prawns, pate or broth. Then for the main course we had Turkey and stuffing and cranberries, Beef, Pork and Ham with cranberry and orange sauce. There was mashed, roast, garlic and new potatoes. Carrots, both julienne and mashed, mashed swede, roast vegetables, garlic vegetables, peas, sweetcorn, mange tout and broccoli, onion gravy. To finish off, a choice of profiteroles, treacle trifle, Chocolate cake, or Christmas pudding. A few glasses of wine (which I could not have as I was driving)

Then for afternoon tea there were cold meats, savoury snacks, cheeses and pickles etc, and more wine.

Then when I finished driving duties, I was able to have a bit of cheese a few glasses of port and sloe gin.

Just a light snack really

My filthy mind interprets the title of this thread in ways FC probably never intended.

It just makes me look forward to a time when it'll be cool enough outside for me to cook a big dinner again.

Maybe that means I'm too repressed for these boards after all.

Nah, not at Legion World!

I'm gonna' sell tickets when you and the Chief finally have your toilet humor smackdown grudge match.

I fully expect to keep myself in Chimay Ale and Parisian macaroons for a year, once I've got the proceeds tallied up.

I think EDE and Kent will probably volunteer to collect bets on the winner, though.

Not enough Fiber for him lately I guess?
