Christmas Dinner 2009


Well the action has started here as Mary has started getting things going for tomorrow. We have two turkeys to cook and the vegtables and poatoes are in process now. I got the call to get home and start helping. Mary sent an emial to the Butterball people asking about cooking two turkeys at once. Great customer service, within 15 minutes she had a full detailed response on how to do it.

Anyway seems like a good thread to start. Lets post pics and what not from our meals and get togethers. What do you say?

My S-I-L did a prime rib dinner to night, nice Pinot Noir with dinner, freshly made carrot cake with cream cheese icing, dashed to church for the candle light service, emptied my wallet of a couple of Mackenzie Kings for the World Service Fund, met a lot of good friends there, returned home at 10:30, snapped a few photos of our living room......

Sounds like a good old english meal, love yorkshire pudding. My Mom used to make that all the time. I miss her.  I am a Yorkshire man originaly, born there.  We are haveing the traditional fare today. Turkey, taters, stuffing ,meat balls, ham, veggies and gravy and what ever the son in law brings.

Well, we were planning to go out to the community turkey dinner in town (about 4 miles away) but it's not that pleasant outside right now. Too bad. It's a fun time. They do it for people who are either not able to afford a turkey etc, people who are alone, handicapped and so on. They like people to come and play some games, sing songs etc with all these people so they have a good time on Christmas day. We have gone for a number of years and the kids have enjoyed playing games and fellowshipping with mostly strangers.

However, looks like we are planted here and dad (me) is going to have to make a batch of his world famous chili again!!!

Oh wow, yes. We are getting snow (finally!) and some wind. Still not bad for travel but somehow home just seemed to cozy to go out!

We don't have any gatherings for another day and then 2 more next week, so maybe it's good to stay here and rest up!

Well the two turkeys cooked at once worked out well, lots of white meat from two birds to satisfy our guests. Traditional fixings to go with it, Mashed potatoes, Stuffing, Brocolli Cauliflower cheese casserole, baby carrots, sweet peas, cranberry sauce, fresh baked rolls. As usual Mary out did herself. Also served an outstanding Chardonnay - Konzelman Estate 2007 and a Beaujolais Superior - Bouchard Aine & Fils 2008 for the red wine drinkers. The usual assortment of desert, pumpkin pie and whipped cream, fruit cake with almond icing, homemade short breads.

we thought it would be fun this year and used our figurine set from the old rudolf movie (with yukon cornelius and the dentist elf) and used them for some place settings and we had rudolf crackers (things with the toys and crown in them).

Eleven.....hey Hillar at our age everybody is young people. I have too much furniture so it was full. Our table can seat eight but I had to make up a small table to add to one end to accomodate three more. Mary and I prefer to have a sit down dinner. I know a lot of familiies go with the buffett style with a crowd but we think it is nicer if every can gather around the table.
