Ham, cheesy potatoes, pistachio-orange asparagus, cran-raspberry jello salad (mandatory if you live in Wisconsin), and a raspberry cream cake for dessert.
Tomorrow it's steak and lobster for 3.

Ham, taters, orange-pistachio-asparagus, and one of Pat's great homemade layer cakes.
My mom, my sister, and her two girls are supposed to come for dinner, but my sister wound up in the emergency room with suspected kidney stones. We'll know more in about an hour.

Ham and baked potatoes tonight, prime rib tomorrow.
I'm not cooking tomorrow, except for a wild rice side dish. One very good thing about going to the in-laws...my sister-in-law is a spectacular cook.

Best,

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I melted the snow and ice off the grill and made a nice tenderloin for myself tonight.
(kids are with Dad)
Tomorrow will be a boneless Black Forest Ham, roast potatos, dinner rolls and green beans.
You can only eat honey cured hams so long before your taste-buds crave a good old-fashioned smoke house ham.

Dessert is choice of apple or pumpkin pie.

Well we had Turkey, Roast potatoes cooked in goose fat (to die for) Roast parsnips, Carrots, swede, brussel sprouts with bacon and onion (good farting power there lads!) cranberry sauce, pigs in blankets (cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon and grilled) proper homemade stuffing and the obligatory yorkshire flippin' puddings! Proper gravy made from the turkey juices and adding carrots onions and celery for the bird to sit on and bread sauce too cos lets face it - I AM A DAMN BRIT!!
After that gutbuster special we had trifle and I've made another for tomorrow so I'll take a pic of that one so you can see it. My kids love it, for them, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without trifle and I have to admit, I've never had a Christmas yet without trifle either! I havn'et had any Christmas pudding this year and I regret it so I might just have to buy one on Thursday when the shops are open again and scarf it all by myself with a bucket of brandy sauce - must remember not to get bladdered BEFORE making the brandy sauce this year (just don't ask okay? We all have culinary disasters!)
You know what the best bit is? Apart from a huge big cooked breakfast tomorrow? Turley, stuffing and cranberry sauce sammiches!

Black Forest Ham is in the oven along with baked potatos, crusty dinner rolls, french green beans and for dessert? Pineapple and mixed fruit upside down dump cake.
I'm getting heady just smelling it all.

Carolyn that sounds yummy - I love butter beans and devilled eggs and the chicken and dumplings sounds like I should have a plateful right now! What is lemon icebox pie though?

Well, there are a hunnert and one ways to make one, but the one I make is easy easy
graham cracker pie crust
1 can sweetened condensed milk
juice of lemon (how many lemons depends on how *sour* you want the pie) and if you want it *yellow*- I add just a bit of food coloring.
Mix the lemon juice with the milk (it will start to thicken) and pour into the pie crust! Voila!
Some people add an egg yolk to the pie (then it has to be baked) to give it a yellow tint.
I did tell my sis-in-law that if she would send me the recipe for my ma-in-laws butter filled cake, I'd bake it for her (sis-in-law don't cook much, just her, and she doesn't bake at all, unless it's out of a box). Also told her that I'd make her a spice chiffon cake (which if Helen is really really nice to me, I might be coerced to make one for her and bring it to her at dallas, the cake not the pie).

we had Christmas dinner at my husband's work partner place and unfortunely got a nasty, horrible hit because She did not mention that the meat was cooked with red wine marsala and the salad had a red wine vinagrette  ...that was a very poisonous meal for me...Christmas day brunch was ruined because I did not had stomache to eat anything and the flu is not helping either but...I am planning my sweet revenge  (the b@#$% knew I can't have red wine so I think she planned it all along and I know she is alergic to peppermint soooooo..... ,my time will come...it will come  )

OK, so, Christmas Eve was fondue.........a crab fondue, as well as all kinds of meat cooked in a court boullion, then dipped in different sauces.....chocolate foundue for dessert, of course.
Christmas dinner, well, we were split, 50/50, between prime rib and ham, so we had both, with the usual emerald salad, wild rice casserole, mashed taters with cheese, field greens with strawberries, gouda, walnuts and vinaigrette, rolls, stir-fried green beans........and for dessert, kahlua cheesecake or cream puffs.......lots of coffee, some champagne and chambord(mmmmmmmmm!).......and a lot of great conversation!
This household will be serving leftovers till the vweek ends.....kitchen is CLOSED!
