| First menu was prime rib with scalloped potatoes, green beans and almonds, fruit salad, brownies and creme brulee. But then 4 SIL's and MIL said they wouldn't eat red meat. My solution was to tell them to bring McD's. (Old, sad, long story 'cause one of them brought McD's to a T-day feast).
Second menu was filets and salmon on the grill. I nixed that because Christmas meal should not be common dishes, imo. This time my solution was to nix the whole thing.
But I do this for my hubb and his dad, no one else, so I regrouped and decided on, and got a go-ahead from all attending:
My shrimp/broccoli/mushroom linguini in a light garlic sauce, green salad, fruit salad, and the brownies and creme brulee. Plus I finally have some Christmas cookies left over. I'll do a couple appetizers and call it good. | |

I would stick to the original menu but add some salmon for the nonredmeat eaters | |

| Reindeer, if my aim is good enough. If not, then I fixed tamales, beans, chips and salsa, spanish rice, brownies, cookies, honey bbq meatballs, cake, rice krispie treats and beer.  | |

Location: In a happy place | That all sounds so good. I am not cooking as Sears has not yet rectified my problems with my cooktop and oven since Thanksgiving. So I will just be a bummer at my family and friends this year. Guess you would say I am taking a break. | |
