Your holiday dinners?

We had leg of lamb with 'pigs in blankets' (sausages wrapped in bacon), Yorkshire puddings, all the usual veg plus leek sauce (which I absolutely must have) and gravy... also home-made cranberry & crab-apple cheese

We avoid turkey or goose, usually preferring to get a good deal on something like lamb, goat or ostrich. We have a gammon joint at Christmas as well, for Boxing Day

Looks like another painting of yours! Certainly more stylish a table than mine.

Quite a 'spread'! we did much the same at my daughter's abode this season for her 11 wine industry friends and relatives. We loaned out our dining chairs etc and my wife got a marvelous Cosco beef Wellington which then got wrapped in prosciutto and breaded. Additionally my wife, a superb chef who loves to cook, made the dessert: a magnificent cheesecake topped with our own raspberries...the wine & Scotch (Napa??!!) flowed like the Nile! Having done much the same at Thanksgiving, it falls to me to clean the kitchen afterwards.....

Yup, I did the washing-up solo afterwards (we never yet got a dish-washing machine)

We've had one for years and I still haven't learned how to operate it

Pretty traditional Finnish Christmas dinner:
- Ham
- Potatos
- Brown sauce
- Various casseroles (potato, carrot, cabbage)
- Smoked salmon
- Rye bread/Karelian pie
- Home brew beer


Though this year it was at my mom's instead of grandparent's since they are getting a bit too old, so we don't want to put the burden on them. (My grandma worries a lot about the Christmas dinner, might not sleep properly etc.)

Likewise ...we got a newfangled one from the kitchen-remodel with all the settings in the upper hatch edge and I still can't figure it out...as in "what a fascinating modern age I
I live in!"... How I miss my industrial strength Hobart from my restaurant
summer dishwasher job in' 1978!!!
