What did you and have for a Christmas feast :confused:

i had bailley's (sp?), something dark brown and blood vomited onto my leg. 'yummy!

Running calls on christmas eve is always fun, isn't it?

A plate of assorted cheeses and ring balogna started things off (actually, this was breakfast ... I wake up late).

Throughout the day grazing on assorted chocolatey things kept hunger at bay.

I enjoyed Maryland Crab Cakes (the kind you get from QVC ... they are awesome), asparagus, scalloped potatoes, and Peach Pie for afters.

I also selected a merlot to accompany ... wasn't too bad, but it's Rutherford Hill for me from now on!

This morning a cheese strata awaits ... dinner at the nuthouse tonight will be leftover crabcakes 'n taters.

We'll probably eat somewhere on the way to AC. Then we'll hit the buffet tonight. Last night we ordered in...after I saw the number of cars on the grocery store parking lot yesterday afternoon, there was no way I was going in there.

Lessee...
 

I had a plate of boiled pierogies with butter and sour cream.
And a glass of Cherry Kool Aid.

I'm saving the steaks and baked potatoes for Saturday when I get to see Dagney again!

went to my parents for honey baked ham with raisin sauce, fresh green beans, homemade rolls, marinated mushrooms (i've got to get the recipe from my mom!) cheese grits and fruit salad. i couldn't do desert though. way to full! (ice cream)

PURITY EGG NOG IS REALLY GOOD

Did someone say egg nog?

*runs to the refrigerator to break out the rest of the Penn Dutch Egg Nog*

Went to the parents house: Parents had 2 bottles of red (merlot or pinot - not sure), both uncles brought bottles of wine (up to 4 total), and my parent's bartender & his wife (yup you read it right) and one of the waiters brought 4 more bottles of wine and a big pot of mulled wine (4 bottles of red, cinnamon, cloves, honey, 4 shots brandy, 2 shots tequilla, 2 shots rum, 2 shots countreau). Total of 8 bottles of wine plus the full bar that my parents have plus the mulled wine.

Now - for dinner. This weird green jello salad that my grandma made (has coconut - so I can't have it - yippie!), coleslaw, baked potato's, fresh green bean cassarole, glazed carrots, BIG ASS PRIME RIB, and rolls with chocolate rum cake for desert.

Did someone mention wine?

*runs to the refrigerator to break out the bottle of cabernet sauvignon*

Had some friends over, we ride with the gal sometimes he participates. Anyway he's getting out of the construction engineering game and starting a winery in the finger lakes region of NY. He brought over two bottles of really fantastic red wine which we plowed through immediately because we don't want Syc to have any.

No...you just didn't want the PLCB breaking down your door to make you pay the "per bottle tax."

I went to see my dad and his new wife. I drank two beers, most of their bottle of pineapple wine, and some soy nog with rum in it. Then I gave the kids a ride home.

Oh, food... almost everything was white, holding to the great Scandihuvian tradition. Potatoes, lefse, some gelatinous looking lutefisk, white sauce, and (my contribution) potato leek soup. Since we're rebellious, we also had some cooked greens and black beans.

So I am not the only one with the Scandinavian back ground. Can I please just say - lutefisk is the most nasty stuff. YUK:turd:

Thank God my Dad is German - meat and potato's - YUM.

You Scandihoovian eaters have my condolences. (except for the bakery items)

We did this great Spanish garlic shrimp on Christmas eve, with other nibbling things- a terrific Stilton from Neals Yard, with pears and walnuts. Spanish red and cognac.
Christmas day was a standing beef rib roast, mustard horseradish sauce, potatos and greenbeans. with Aussie "get your shirraz-cab over here".
We're still working on the roast beast but are about to finish off the ginger cookies and butter nut balls.
Whew. Ok. tomorrow I go to gym.:)
