I had grilled chicken, brown rice, and brocoli

 

yup! thats the best thing on the menu!

 

A lovely 3 grain pasta sauteed in water with a combination (homemade) of herbs and spices thats been in the family for years. I then carefully strained the water away from the pasta taking care to leave a little moisture for the spices. I then cooked some fresh vegetables that I had been seasoning for the last 3 months that were absolutely orgasmic ...aka...

In Peru, just ate turkey stuffed with ground beef, sausage and hot dog. Also Panettone with chocolate drink. Dinner starts at midnight; 1 am in our case, after opening presents.

 

had a mini thanksgiving style dinner.. turkey, stuffing (sausauge and bread), mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and corn.. tomorrow.. a honey baked ham

 

i dont even remember, it was like a buffet style, just take whats on the table and go eat.
uhh, there was some stuffing, ham, smoked salmon, sushi, fried chicken , vegetables + dip, and some roll sandwich type thing.

 

Yeah I was going to do the traditional style Christmas Dinner with Ham, turkey, stuffing, yams, cranberry etc... But I just didnt have the time to prep all that the day before so I decided to cook my mothers favorite seafood dish. My grandmother is 91 years old, she finished everything on her plate and had seconds


I will post the prawn recipe in the morning im barely awake. Ive had a long day.

 

One of my favorite italian dishes Did you drink wine with the dish? Merlot sounds like a great combo.

 

Tonight for Hanukkah

Brisket, made from a recipe from Cooks magazine, it just falls apart.
Potato Latkes (Potato Pancakes)

My father is making Tiramisu for dessert.

 

Last night i had taco bell. Today is Turkey! 1 will be an original prepared in the stove and 1 will be deep fried

 

I just had the traditional Puerto Rican holiday meal...
"Arroz con gandules" - Rice with pigeon peas
"Pasteles" - A tamale-like thing made with mashed plantains, filled with various things like pork or chicken, red peppers, oilives, etc.
"Lechón" - pork, an entire pig cooked rotisserie style over fire
"Morcillas" - a.k.a. blood sausage. It's the intestines of the pig stuffed with pig blood, rice and seasonings. Trust me they're good!

The thing is I've eaten essentially the same thing at three different houses already!

 

POTATO PANCAKES RULE! My mom used to make those and we couldn't wait to get to the table. We ate them with sour cream and a little salt... Actually that whole dinner sounds great

 

6lbs baked chicken
Curried goat
rice
salad
egg nog
sweet potato

 

Christmas Eve dinner = PB&J sandwich
Christmas dinner, I'm making: Sweet potato casserole, spinach madeline, a ham, an apple pie, and a chocolate fudge cake; my mother is making a mirliton and shrimp casserole; I'm not sure what my boyfriend's mom and stepmom made... but I've been cooking since yesterday.

 

whatevers open

 

A rice cake a water yesterday. Today will be a stick of gum.

 

A whole stick of gum?

I honestly have no clue what's for dinner today, maybe Chinese food.

 

Christmas Eve: I made sirloin tips in merlot sauce (over egg noodles) and mushroom struedel.

Today: Chicken in Cranberry Chutney, Chinese Almond and Sesame Seed Salad, stuffing, Sweet Potato Casserole, and Creme Brulee

 

christmas eve (brazilian-style): dinner began at midnight, ribs, turkey (non-traditional), rice, salpicon (sp?), chocolate and strawberry cake and pudding (portuguese sp?, but flan to the rest of you)

christmas: maybe duck and orange sauce or whatever else i have handy

 

The marsala sauce absolutely drenched it. It easily melted in the mouth.

I normally would have, but the weather made driving difficult and I forewent alcohol this time. I hadn't had veal in a while, and I dislike eating chicken at restaurants (you can have chicken anywhere). I had steak-and-potatos the night before, so wanted something different.

My Italian uncle gives the place 5-stars. It's VERY good Italian.
If anyone is in the Detroit area for the Superbowl, they have several different locations, all with different décor. I think the menus may vary as well.

I'm trying to talk my brother into going for Chinese later...

 

Chinese food is great on any holiday, and especially Christmas. I ate at Miami subs in Jacksonville about 8yrs back. That was not enjoyable.

 

Xmas Eve: dad made prime rib...with rice and corn followed with some macadamian white chocolate chip cookies

Today, rest of the prime rib and crab legs

 

i made by myself a meringue berry torte out of teh cook book i asked the big man himself for for Xmas (keepin it politically correct dawg)

 

Tonight is

Giant Tiger Shrimp in a light Lemon-Garlic Butter Sauce with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Fresh Basil served over Fettucine pasta with Garlic Bread as a side with a beautiful salad of fresh greens lightly splashed with an Olive Oil based vinegarette..

Desert will be a Home Made Orange/Lime Sorbet garnished with a mint leaf.

 

^ wow, a very different way of approaching XMAS dinner. I like

 

That was my thought, we have no relatives here this year so why not REALLY enjoy our own Christmas Dinner!
