i am having ham

Prizefighter · 12-23-2011, 04:07 PM

Country ham seems to be traditional in my family. Probably some of the usual sides like mashed potatoes and biscuits. Also petits fours and homemade cookies.

BETH · 12-23-2011, 04:10 PM

PETIT FOURS?

Prizefighter · 12-23-2011, 04:16 PM

Sure. Who doesn't like those?

BETH · 12-23-2011, 04:18 PM

Prizefighter · 12-23-2011, 04:21 PM

Basically a little 1"x1" layer cake. Swiss Colony or Hickory Farms sells them. I've got them each year at the holidays for some time now.

BETH · 12-23-2011, 04:23 PM

geds · 12-23-2011, 05:21 PM

Spiral cut honey glazed ham, sweet potato casserole, fresh asparagus, cranberry jello salad, corn casserole, coconut cake, ambrosia, and Christmas cookies.

I was gonna try smoking the ham, but decided it wasn't worth the trouble since the meat is already cured.

raven818 · 12-23-2011, 05:33 PM

I cook a Peking Duck every Christmas. It's our long time traditional meal. Yummers.

terminator · 12-23-2011, 05:44 PM

Beef roast, fried chicken, mashed taters -w- gravy, mac-n-cheese, Krunchy Koleslaw, apple crisp. I'm sure there will be more, but I just don't know what all everyone is bringing.

My wife the nurse is working Fri-Sat-Sun so Sunday after work she's picking up her mom with the spread, CAN'T WAIT!

Her oven baked breaded chicken, ham, stuffed cabbage, keilbassi, deviled eggs and more.

My wife's making scalloped potatoes to go with it!

We'll be eating good for a few days!

Brisket, ham, turkey, stuffing, tater salad, deviled eggs, mashed taters, green bean casserole, mac n cheese, Broccoli rice and cheese, rolls, sweet cream corn, yams, cranberry sauce, giblet gravy for the taters, brown gravy for the one that dont like giblet gravy, giant raw vegetable tray with ranch dip in the middle, pecan pie, punkin pie, pineapple peach pie, punkin rolls, dirt-n-worms for the kids, grammas famous nanner puddn, sweet iced tea and various softdrinks.

Zhurh · 12-23-2011, 10:53 PM

The wifey bakes all the cookies, nut rolls, colache, pies, and cakesWe always bake ; we eat it for the nx month, ha.

We bake hams & stuffed chickens on the wood cook stove, tastes better, no joke. Usually when we drive into Fairbanks in sept before our road closes (oct to apr) they never have turkeys shipped in yet; so we bring back cases of chicken.

But the absolute best holiday food is Halupki (stuffed cabbage rolls) & mashed potatoes with tomato gravy. Traditional with wife's good Hunkie bloodlines.

You all enjoy all the eating & drinking over Christmas; great time of year.

Brisk44 · 12-23-2011, 11:21 PM

Normally we have ham but this year I put 5 turkeys in the freezer so we're having turkey, stuffing, sweet potato casserole,gravy, green bean casserole,jello mold with fruit, broccoli casserole, cranberry relish, home made rolls, home made cookies and for desert pound cake from a castle mold dusted with powdered suger and served with strawberry sauce.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things but it will all be so good.
The most important thing though is that my family is all here with me and we can all enjoy the holidays and each other.
I almost forgot there are also some very fine wines from across the river from Navoo, fine whiskey from Canada and classic beer from St. Louis.
