What's For Christmas Dinner?

[ORD_Buckeye]

Doing a fresh goose from Gepperth's butcher shop in Lincoln Park. Goose will be glazed with a combination of Creme de Mure (Burgundian blackberry liqueur) honey, lavender and sage and stuffed with a traditional British stuffing of roast chestnuts and bacon. Sides will be braised red cabbage and fingerling potatoes roasted in the rendered goose fat.

Pulling the cork on my last two bottles of 1990 Dujac Charmes Chambertin to go with the goose.

Nothing special. Vegetarian lasagna and a bottle of Pinot. Dessert recipe from Giada deLaurentis that I still have to decide upon. Unfortunately not Giada herself.

Julbord (Christmas Sm?rg?sbord)

Smoked salmon, herring, baked cod, cold cuts, cheeses, potato salad, deviled eggs, sausage, meatballs...

Julskinka (Christmas Ham)

...all followed with risgrynsgr?t (rice pudding).

Brisket (Manfred's grandmother's recipe), green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and pecan pie. We'll probably add a few more things to the menu this week.

I'll probably just snag some pretzels at the bar.

Burger King is open tho, just in case.

Cookies with a side of I-just-got-my-final-grades tears.

Might be pretzels for me too... Or maybe something from the Jewish deli... Flights pushed back to Wednesday, I'd bet $80 that I get bumped for Christmas, but I gave it to asshole cabbie who want to try and tell me how to get to my house... Fucking ass clowns. Drunk thread for me in 10-15 min

We do a standing rib roast at my household. Braised for an hour, then cooked for 4 more. It's fall apart wonderful and the Au Jus goes great on mashed potatos!

Green beens, Spinach Casserole and Crescent rolls (only thing thats not home made.

I'm not big on Christmas deserts - so I'll probably just go with some cookies while the others are having pumpkin pie.

Going back to the in-laws in NW Ohio. Will be having some Kielbasa with Bettys Salas and German Potato Salad. The Kielbasa is cooked differently then one may think. They actually take the skin off and the butterfly the sausage, then slicing it. They cook it by broiling it in a saute pan, first searing then adding a touch of water to the pan, then cover. Shit tastes phenomenal. They get the sausage somewhere in Toledo.
