Christmas Dinner

[Jenne]

Hm, tomorrow we're having prime rib, turkey, potatoes (mashed if my grandmother's making them), brussel sprouts, salad, cranberry relish, my husband's qabli rice (Afghan traditional "party rice" with raisins, nuts and either candied orange peel or carrots in it), dressing, cheesecake (and I'm bringing my (in)famous cheeseball and crackers as well as a homemade pecan pie).

Xmas Day:  turkey, ham, crockpot cheese potatoes, crockpot pork n beans, ambrosia salad (gag), green bean casserole, rolls and pumpkin pie (I'm bringing another homemade pecan).

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Dead fucking cow, Yorkshire pudding, salad, and a few bottles of booze are the typical xmas for us.

I am getting fucking crabs and shrimp.

Mental image:  100 rampaging horny crabs with strp-ons descending on a bevy of shrimp.  50% of the Shrimp flee in terror, 25% flee to keep up appearances, most of the rest pass out, and a few just lie there and try not to let everyone else realize thet they're into that.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I think that what we're really doing is eating leftovers from Yule and lounging around Mr. Language's apartment drinking tea in our pajamas. I am beyond excited for this.

I missed cooking Thanksgiving this year, so I wanted to do something nice to make up for it:

Rosemary garlic roast leg of lamb

Roasted winter root vegetables
Salad of arugula, blood oranges, slivered fennel and toasted almonds

Chocolate souffles with cardamom creme anglaise

I hope it turns out well!

[Jenne]

I want your recipes for that leg of lamb and the souffles, dude.

[Adios]

I love lamb.

[Kai]

I am getting fucking crabs and shrimp.

SQUIDMAS!!!

I'm having roast duck tonight with immediate family.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I just packed up a bag of leftovers (including a half-gallon of mexican hot chocolate!) and decided I'm going to use the leftover tamale fixins to make some kind of spicy chicken hominy stew for tomorrow.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

i get ham
     

[Adios]

The Prime turned out perfectly. Then it turned into French Dip sandwiches for its second act.
