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. |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by George_J on Dec 24th, 2007, 6:42pm 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, George |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by Redd on Dec 24th, 2007, 7:14pm 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. |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by LeLimey on Dec 25th, 2007, 4:36pm 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! |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by deltadarlin on Dec 25th, 2007, 5:52pm We went to my sister-in-laws for Christmas dinner-fried turkey, baked ham, dressing (stuffing for you Brits et al), giblet gravy, chicken and dumplings, butter beans, deviled eggs, cranberry sauce, two kinds of rolls and for dessert~lemon icebox pie, pineapple upside down cake, brownies and fudge. |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by LeLimey on Dec 25th, 2007, 6:23pm 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? |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by deltadarlin on Dec 25th, 2007, 6:35pm 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). |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by LeLimey on Dec 27th, 2007, 12:47pm Oh I'll be nice if there's cake involved LOL What is a chiffon cake please? You have that, angel cake, bundt cake and a bazillion other's Ive never heard of but the recipes don't look so different from basic cake mix to me. |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by Rosybabe on Dec 27th, 2007, 1:52pm 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 [smiley=sgrin.gif] (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..... [smiley=laugh.gif],my time will come...it will come 8)) |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by Cathi_Pierce on Dec 27th, 2007, 3:02pm 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! ;;D Cathi |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by LeLimey on Dec 27th, 2007, 4:44pm Okay whats emerald salad when it's at home? I want to know EXACTLY what craberry-raspberry jello salad is too. Cathi ALL the wild rice leftovers are mine. They'll poison everyone else I promise so it's best if only I eat 'em ;) ( I adore wild rice and Pauls mum cooks it perfectly) |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by Cathi_Pierce on Dec 27th, 2007, 5:12pm LOL! Helen, emerald salad is a concoction my 102 yr old grandmother still asks for. It is a very interesting(ok, disgusting )melange of lime jello, grated onion and cucumber, mayonnaise, cottage cheese and slivered almonds.......surprisingly, it isn't bad, really! The wild rice didn't go over very well, actually. My daughter has gone vegan, and I wantd to be certain she ate something other than salad and dessert! You can have all that remains, look for a carton in the mail! :o ;;D Cathi |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by Charlie on Dec 27th, 2007, 9:57pm For Christmas Dinner we had Beef On Weck It's a very Buffalo and western New York dish and wonderful: http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Sandwiches/BeefOnWeck.htm We need more places in town to serve it. Drool..... Charlie |

Title: Re: What's for dinner..... Post by catlind on Dec 28th, 2007, 6:51am Do tell Helen, was it a sherry trifle or do you get creative like we do and have multi coloured and flavoured options for your trifle? I'll never forget the year my Nana made individual trifles for everyone with green jelly and creme de menthe - I think she put enough booze in each one to make a big one. She got us all grandkids drunk on the desert that year LOL. Ours was a lovely meal of the traditional fare - Christmas Eve was munchies - cornish pasties, sausage rolls, cheese trays and cookies and candies - Santa only likes cornish pasties I'm told ;) Clark and I got to bed around 4:30 a.m. on the 25th after only arriving in Canada at the end of a 19 hour drive from hell at 5:30 a.m. on the 24th. This trip has been one for the record books - Dinner was at my brothers house (my grandmothers place before she passed a couple years ago) and had Turkey and dressing, corn, potatoes, mixed green beans and carrots, water chestnuts wrapped in bacon served over old sharp white cheddar, pumpkin pie, trifle and a yule log. Of course the munchies were out as well and we indulged in oysters, cheese, beef tongue prepared according to my fathers special recipe which is only handed on to the men in the family so I can't tell you about that one Helen - not that you would want to know LOL - cornish pasties, cheese and pastrami mix, shrimp pate and a few other yummies. So much for me having lost any weight, I put every pound back on just over the 24th and 25th! Despite the unusually high levels of stress this Christmas season brought it was all made worthwhile when I heard Ayden (7) on Christmas morning when he thought no one was around to hear him: About 7 a.m. ish, and he was in fine form after opening his stocking that Santa left, and he had gotten Mommy and Daddy awake and Nana and Papa Barrie awake, and he was in the hallway with the dog just waiting for everyone so he could open the parcels that Santa left and I heard him say "It's a VERY special day Cisco!" (Cisco is our puppy dog). It made every second of the treacherous trip and the long night of wrapping and preparing worth every second of my breakdown ;) Gotta love the magic of kids on Christmas morning :) :) Cat p.s. can you believe that Santa Clause knows how to get a pack of playing cards from Omaha NE AND a bouncy ball from Canada into a stocking?? He's a magical guy that Santa ;) |
