Christmas Dinner - what do you have?

Lasagna Garlic bread Salad Homemade cheesecake for dessert

Them's the 2 things I can cook very well LOL

Sounds yummy to me Scarlet

I'm invited, so will be suprised:

on 24th December:
with the large family of dear SIL;
( his brother is a professional and prepares
always the most exquisite dishes. He also did 11 1/2 years ago the
whole catering for DD's and SIL's wedding, which had as theme on
the Menu-cards, decorating, etc.: 'movies and Marilynj Monroe'.
Even the wedding-cake was an inside cinema-theatre with screen,
seats, cameras, etc.).
So it will be good again.

On 25th:
with the entire family of my close English friends for a tradional
EnglishChristmas supper/dinner with turkey; sprouts; carrots,
sweet + normal patatos, cheeses etc,; etc....... and of course the
PLUMPUDDING !!

On 26th (is here also an official holiday):
proberly at DS's, when at least he has the children this year's
Christmas, last year the 2 girls were with their mother and her
family. But all depends on their yearly agreements.

Enjoy your meals too !

We also eat a lot of "Lutefisk" wich i gess is no-no food in the pond.
Codfish who is Dryed, then put in to wather for a couple of days.Then in wather and caustic soda ca.24ours.
We put it a pan with foil and in the oven. It shall be a bit shaky on your plate. Goes with potato,bacon and mushypeas. You hate it or love it, i dont think there is some between...I enjoy.

Thank you for responding to me Molla, it's wonderful to get to meet people so far away from where I am, I'm in the USA in California, very different climate and food

Sweet Potatoes or Yams
Roast Potatoes
Brocolli/Carrots/& other veg

That is about the usual but don't know if I will do it this year. May just to a Dressed up Sunday Dinner.

There's just me and hubby. He wants to go out to eat for Thanksgiving. Christmastime, I don't know what will happen.

I am from the UK but live in New Zealand now, My son always comes to us for christmas lunch, and i always have to do the big british roast turkey dinner, which is fine for them they sit by the pool drinking champange while i am in the kitchen cooking up a storm in 80degs of heat .

we dont do tea though we just chuck some seafood on the barbie if anyone still wants food, hubby can just about manage that.

we have a maple glazed pork loin roast. garlic mashed potatoes. green beans. homemade cheesecake and whatever hubby asks for.
