In a lot of households here I guess baking a whole ham is the traditional Xmas meal but mama and I aren't real big ham eaters.

She went shopping yesterday and she'll be baking roast beef and with it we'll have mashed potatoes, corn, brown gravy and hot rolls.......the rolls will be my moms recipe for homemade Parker House rolls if I can sweet talk her into it. :)

So what's for Xmas dinner ?
 

I don't think my wife has decided yet..We had our family Christmas last night, and had finger sandwiches..

Predicting to be in the lower 70's for Christmas Day and I may have to Grille..BBQ.gif
 
Roast beef, roast potatoes, gravy, broccoli and cauliflower in cheese sauce, sweet corn, sautéed mushrooms, onions, sweet red peppers in garlic rub, carrots, and peas. Homemade crusty rolls and Greek salad. Dessert: mince pie, homemade vanilla ice

cream, Christmas pudding, flamed in brandy and served with hard sauce. Wine with dinner, liqueurs following dessert. Perhaps a Syrian family will be joining us. If so, I will check to see if they would be uncomfortable with alcohol being served.
 

Most likely some kind of curry or other Thai food. Some kind of dessert since I've been restricting those. Maybe a brownie and ice cream. Might even have a cocktail like a Mai Tai.

Jeez Shali that all sounds really good........hey PM me your address, mama and I are coming to your house for dinner. :)

Better yet........Hey everyone let's ALL go to Shali's for Xmas dinner.
 
Ike, you and mama (if I am permitted to be so familiar,) are more than welcome to come for Christmas dinner. Given notice, everyone is welcome at chez Shali's for dinner. We can all have a singalong around the piano too, if people wish.
 
Ribeye Steaks with Garlic Butter
Fresh Steamed Asparagus
Fresh Fruit Salad with Pomegranate

Homemade Pecan Pie, Whipping Cream
Homemade Cookies

An easy dinner with the things we love. I can make the fruit salad ahead..
 
Karen, please add seating for one more guest and a large pup, we'll be there a bit after noon:)

Really though, my niece does pretty good with a buffet. SIL makes scalloped potatoes like my Mom used to. Fresh potato, sharp cheese, a dash of milk and maybe twelve sticks of butter. But the cookies, home made cookies...skip the food and go right to those cookies.

Kurobuta Ham, Broccoli Onion Deluxe, Ambrosia, Cinnamon and Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Haricot Vertes with herb butter and a 7 layer vegetable salad.
Gotta tell you though, was at Costco today and they were sampling their Prime Rib, I was ready to toss out my menu and go for the beef. Boy was that good.
 
Last year, I made soup, lasagna, vegetables, mashed potatoes. Someone brought salad and spinach pie. DH made chicken.

We put out nuts, crackers and cheese.
 
And here’s mine. Sliced turkey breast, gluten free stuffing & gravy, potatoes, parsnips & carrots, plus cranberry sauce.
Bon appetite!
