What do you have for Christmas Dinner?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

I'm about to go shopping and can't decide what to buy. Inspire me!

[Cuban_Liberal]

1. Roast pig!

:)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

8. I wonder if my local market still has a suckling piggy left...

It's a bit late to order one...

:9

[Cuban_Liberal]

20. That looks like a Doberman pinscher, or a Collie!

:scared::P

[Lone_Star_Dem]

33. Hey, I said it was too late to order a piggy!

This is, 'just in case'. :P

[eleonora]

2. tofu turkey!

hehe

[complain jane]

3. I checked turkey, because I'm gonna be served turkey,

but I'd so love to chow down on a big helping of Shrimp Vindaloo and papadum.

:9

[Kikosexy2]

4. Mexican...

tradition--tamales--lots and lots of home-made tamales!!!! Thank God, really, that I have a mother who knows how to make 'em and make 'em good too!! Gotta sit and learn from her one day--LOL. At least I know how to spread the masa on the husk. Merry, Merry but don't be Mary!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

9. Doing tamales at lunch!

We only half Texan here... :)

[Kikosexy2]

15. Got..

the real deal here in L.A.--soooo Mexican here in East L.A. By the end of December I'm tamale--ied out!

[ulysses]

5. persecuted Christian lesbians.

:silly:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

11. That was my first choice

But in case they are all out I'm forming a plan B. :P

[ulysses]

16. you can never find them last minute... n/t

[NorthernSpy]

6. roast duck

Although strictly speaking, this is not Christmas dinner, since we are not Christian. Call it Yule, I guess.

[MrPrax]

7. Fast Food Burgers?

If your're like many people living paycheck to paycheck, you don't get paid until Xmas Eve and most of the food will be gone and the stores closed anyhow...

Whatever is on hand, I suppose...

[Placebo]

10. Homemade Tamales & Turkey!

Yea. I'm biracial alright. The holiday food is evidence enough.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

17. That is most likely what we're having, too!

I was thinking of changing the turkey part this year, maybe. :shrug:

[Placebo]

19. Tamales for breakfast or lunch...

Turkey for supper, yummy. :9

[Kikosexy2]

22. Which do you like..

beef, pork, chicken or cheese or the sweet ones (tamales)?

[Placebo]

29. I like the pork...

but I'm trying to go vegetarian (it isn't going well, heh) so I asked them to make me some no-meat tamales with just masa. :P I'll probably end up having both!

You?

[Kikosexy2]

34. Oh...

no luv...no meat?...for you veggies--ask for green chili and cheese tamales--my mother makes some mean ones--my veggie friends love 'em. Or ask for the sweet tasting kind with raisins.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. That's how it goes here

Between 11 and 12 it Tamales time! Then I serve the bird later in the day. :) I am sole tamale maker this year, wish me luck! :P

[Placebo]

30. Best of luck!

and Happy Holidays!...err...Merry Christmas :P

[Kikosexy2]

44. Spread..

the masa and the love--Merry, Merry!

[bigwillq]

12. Fish, Pasta

We don't eat meat on Christmas eve in my family, some old Italian tradition.

We do eat ham and/or pork on Christmas Day.

So the main course is fish and pasta along with all the other fixings.

[On the Road]

13. On Christmas Eve

It's the traditional Italian fish feast.

Christmas day it's airplane food all the way en route to China.

[Bertha Venation]

14. this year it's a chicken, w/ mash and dead green beans.

:9

[NorthernSpy]

23. "dead" green beans?

That sounds like a good dinner! But, aren't green beans always dead from cooking anyway when you eat them?

I mean, I've never heard of anyone eating them raw, when they'd still be living tissue with viable seeds inside. :think:

[Bertha Venation]

26. heh... it's what i call them the way my baby makes them

southern style, slow cooked for an hour or two over low heat, with just a little water, a ham hock, and some onions and garlic cloves. Cooked to death.

[NorthernSpy]

31. ahh...

That explains it!

I like a little onion in green beans myself.

Enjoy!

:9

[Lone_Star_Dem]

32. I've had dead green beans!

At my sisters house. Would NOT call them that to her face, but they are cooked to death. They are still good, too!

[Bertha Venation]

35. LOVE the kitty!

:hi:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

37. Thank you!

Feel free to steal if for furture use. :)

[bleedingheart]

I grew tired of "traditional" holiday meals a long time ago.

Jasmine rice
A simple salad
(homemade)dark chocolate torte with cherries/whipped cream

Dinner's at 7 PM, if anyone's coming.

[prole_for_peace]

45. A Waffle House omlette.

My parents are going out of town and my brother will probably go to his wife's family or her son's father's place.

I am all alone (except for my cats). But I really don't care. I will be able to sleep late, stay in my pajamas most of the day and read a good book with out interruption.
