We had traditional: baked ham, wild rice, veggies, kielbasa and horseradish, my own Christmas salad, relish dish, rolls, and lots of cookies and nut rolls.

12. My sister almost set the ham on fire

It was smoking, not steaming, but we found some inner portions that weren't crispy. She baked it for the recommended time per lb and never checked on it, which isn't surprising with 2 small children around. And I could have checked on it at some point myself. I can't criticize her because 1) I baked the rolls in a dark pan so some of the bottoms were lightly burned (use glass next time) and 2) Since I'm normally cooking for 1 I never bake a 10 lb ham, so I probably would have done the same thing.

We still had a great day, so we didn't really care.

13. Aside from the crescent rolls, I'd swear you were related to me : )

'cept they had leg of lamb this year... (though my mother mentioned that she thought it was mutton... not sure why, other than it must have been rather flavorful).

And we usually have brussels sprouts with chestnuts...

Oh, and, by the way... yes, you are lucky. So is your wife - as you recognize and acknowledge your luckiness. I'm guessing she does, too! Thanks for the vicarious gastronomic appreciation you've offered through sharing : )

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!

I had, um... I've had some white grape juice and, um... a hunk of sourdough bread so far - not to emphasize misery, I've just been keeping busy with other things (unfortunately I wasn't with my family this year).

[spindrifter]

14. Scrambled eggs and toast.

This is what happens when two people have stomach flu for the hols. Oh well. I'll cook the real meal this weekend.

[av8rdave]

15. A Bud Lite and a Kit Kat bar...

No worries....I'll make up for it tomorrow when I get back to Cabo!

Merry Christmas everyone!

[jobycom]

18. I envy you.

Not in the eating stage, but now as I look at my post-apocalyptic kitchen...

[av8rdave]

19. The cleanup is really easy here

Unfortunately, all that's open near the hotel is a gas station convenience store.

If you did the cooking, the cleanup should NOT be your problem! If you didn't, you should have lots of help!

[seemunkee]

16. I made Chinese soup dumplings

First time making them. They came out OK, need to put in more broth next time.
Chocolate lave cake is in the oven now.

Your dinner sounds pretty damn good, you are a lucky man.

[jobycom]

17. Tofurkey, sweet potatoes, brown rice, cauliflower, braised chard,

gravy, bread, pecan pie.

Cooked it all myself.

[applegrove]

20. I made turkey with stuffing and gravy. Carrots and broccoli. Then we had plumb pudding

with hard sauce. Was yummy if I do say so myself. We had someone over for dinner originally from China. It was his first turkey dinner and he loved it.
