We're going to my brother's this afternoon. His wife is a terrific
cook. I'll being bringing the usual bowl of cooked shrimp and
jar of cocktail sauce and a container of cream puffs from Costco.
Hardly any effort at all, but she never wants people to bring
anything.

I'll be cooking the shrimp in my new All-Clad dutch oven. Heh.

That's not a good sign when it happens on Christmas morning :-)


I have cooked Christmas dinner for two of the last three years, and when my
mother used to have everyone for Christmas I used to be in the kitchen
helping her. This year we are going to my brother's for dinner and his son
is looking after everything. I offered to bring something but the only
thing he needs is a container of chicken broth. I feel like I am getting
off pretty easy.

We're having a ribeye roast - we're still turkeyed out from
Thanksgiving. Memories live long around here. Rum cake and fruitcake
(yep, we like it, so there ;-b). Lots of fresh fruit, too - bananas,
apples, oranges, tangerines, grapes. Yum.

Have a good time, everyone.

Merry Christmas.

We don't do Thanksgiving here, so it was turkey day for us....
Just out of curiosity... I paid approx. US$14.30 for a 4kg (about 9lbs)
turkey - yeah I know that's 'small' by US standards - but what do you
pay per pound in the US?
However, it (over)fed 5 adults and I still have some leftovers LOL!

I calculate your turkey at almost 9 pounds weight. In this area at
Thanksgiving, turkeys were averaging about 79 cents a pound (lots of
competitive pricing) - so that would be about $7.00 US, give or take.
Raising turkeys is big business here, for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas.
We settled on the ribeye roast (on sale for $5.99 a pound, which was a
steal); I had thought to get a duck but changed my mind; goose was for
sale, which I seldom see otherwise - didn't price either bird.

Yes, that sounds very reasonable...

I like duck (but it's also overpriced here IMHO) - never tried goose,
but heard it's good.

I did all of the cooking last night (Christmas Eve is a biggie at my
house). Today, we're going to a relative's house for more food and
festivities and I'll bring a couple of things over.

When I was a kid we alternated Christmas dinner at our home or my
grandparents. When it was at home my my mother did the cooking. When we ate
at my grandparents it was my grandfather who did the meal. He also did the
Christmas baking.

Snicker, the anise bread with honey came out well! I'm munching some with a
bit of smoothe white cheese right now.

What does turkey go for when it's not on sale?

Darned if I know! I pick the best price at Thanksgiving and don't buy
it the rest of the year.

I had it easy, too. I fixed and cooked the ribeye roast. Son and wife
brought parboiled potatoes to put around the roast, plus the salad of
mesclun, black grapes, crumbled gorgonzola, also spinach which son
cooked, plus they brought a homemade chocolate cake with chocolate/mocha
icing. They cleaned up. Whoopee! The easiest Christmas dinner I've
ever cooked <G>!!!

That salad sounds delicious!

This was an easy Christmas dinner for us, too. At Thanksgiving I roasted a
large bone-in turkey breast and immediately wrapped and sealed half of it
for the freezer. After that dinner I also froze the remaining gravy.
David had the turkey and gravy, along with mashed potatoes and creamed
peas. I had baked ham that I bought ready to eat from a local butcher
(just to heat up), along with a baked sweet potato and brussels sprouts.
Everything was easy. I baked pies on Christmas Eve day. Chrustmas Day was
very relaxing.

My nephew did an incredible job. The turkey was delicious, perfectly
cooked, nice and juicy, and easily carved (my assigned chore). He made a
sausage stuffing. He also cooked mashed potatoes, cauliflower au gratin,
roasted carrots, broccoli salad and incredible gravy. My sister in law's
mother brought a Christmas pudding that was even better than my mother used
to make, and a nice caramel sauce. My sister in law made chocolate
eclairs. It was one of the best Christmas dinners I ever had, and all I
had to do was carve the turkey.

Well it was for me too even though I cooked dinner for eight. I suppose
that at last, I have stopped worrying or getting frantic about it) Oh yes
and I didn't have any clean up to do

You cooked dinner for 8 in a caravan? Or am I remembering wrong, or were
you back in Scotland at the house? Whatever, at least you weren't frantic
abou it. The best part of the deal is no clean up! :-) So glad you had a
good Christmas!

Good heavens NO!!! LOL As you know our house is Scotland is up for sale.
Usually, the children are with me for Christmas and since I didn't know if
we would have a house now, we made arrangements to have it at my son's house
in Lincoln, which is why I did all the cooking
