Geese are mean nasty creatures and I always imagined them tasting as bitter as their attitude.

You're right about that. I've had them chase me down to bite me.

Filet Mignon with Gorgonzola butter, garlic cheesy mashed potatoes with a hint of horseradish, no clue yet veggies, squaw bread rolls and pecan pumpkin pie with vanilla bean ice cream.

Drinks: cranberry margarita punch.

Nom..nom..nom...

completely off the rails this year (we usually do a roast beef or something more like Thanksgiving):

- Corned beef
- roasted cabbage, baby dutch gold potatoes, carrots, and onion with rosemary
- yeast rolls (wife says Yorkshire puddings are too much work and veto'd me)
- Mac n cheese (for the kids who won't eat cabbage)
- Fried corn (with diced onion and anaheim peppers....doesn't go with the rest of the meal, for sure)
- some cornish game hens for those who won't eat corned beef
- a nice rice and almond pilaf to go with the hens
- butternut squash
- pecan pie

I live in rural Virginia, so PBR and beef jerky, of course.


Nahhh - no specific plans yet, but I've got some kickin' rib eyes in the freezer, and some sweet potatoes - I'm sure I could whip something nice together for the big day.

I'm not directly Italian, but we generally keep up the tradition my mother grew up in.
My grandfather was born raised in Italy, only left because of Nazi's invading his little home village.

But, he got involved in a sort of Italian club and kept with his traditions and learned some new ones.

We generally spent Christmas eve eating a fish feast, mostly fried fish, and an assortment of pickled stuff.
For Christmas dinner is was started with a soup, it was a variation of what people would call 'wedding soup'.

But only after a large antipasto plate, with cured meats and pickled items. and stuffed pizza, anchovies, onions, heavy on the oregano, and some chillies.

After soup, we would have baked chicken and potatoes with rosemary, some veggies, usually cooked peas, some cooked greens like rapini. Finished with some Ravioli, was usually just filled with some cheese.
Then it's pasta time, a big ol' dish of baked Lasagna.
After the barrage of food we get an assortment of baked goods, and a wave of various liquors.

And I usually stumble off to the couch and watch TV till I fall asleep.

We're having a simple Christmas this year
So I'm planning corned silverside, baked potatoes, cheesy cauliflower bake and the snacking on prawns all day. With several blue curacao / coconut rum / vodka / pineapple juice cocktails!

Don't you encourage him!!!



Since we don't know if he's a good cook, giving alternatives to save the party.


There are as of yet no words to describe how good a chef I am sir, combined with my cheffing partner this year it is intended to be an epic endeavour. pictures will prove that it did in fact happen.

How can Yorkshire puds be too much work?

Eggs, flour, milk, one bun baking tray, beef drippng. Done.

I would protest!! And make a batch for yourself, timed, then she can'r use that excuse not to make them.

yeast rolls are pretty easy. You put them in the "fairy tins" to thaw/rise, then bake. No technique involved, unless i get fancy and egg wash the tops to make them shiny.

But im with you. The puddings would make the meal. I always end up eating more puddings than anything else when I make them. its obvious who the real fan in the house is.

Have you had yorkshire puddings as a dessert?

Reheated with strawberries and whipped cream is suprisingly good.

ill buy frozen raspberries and blackberries, put a little water in them (a cup or two, depending on how much I buy), some sweetener (i use splenda and stevia), and simmer them down until the berries are macerated and falling apart. Drop the immersion blender in to get the pulp all broken up, then strain through a sieve to separate the seeds. Ill make a big batch, freeze half and use half. I always have a squirt bottle in the fridge, as it is good in meat sauces, dessert sauces, and vinaigrettes.

I've made puddings with butter and a squirt of that berry sauce in it. It's fantastic.

Fresh brisket with a semi-spicy dry rub.
Buttered brussel sprouts.
Jasmine rice.
Maybe a green salad with bleu cheese dressing.
GF cookies, special holiday chocolates, served with vanilla frozen yogurt.

potato salad yearns to be paired with brisket.

Im going to the kitchen now to make a batch, actually.
