I have to say, Secretsmile, that I MISS having the honey-baked ham for Christmas. That's what my family always did -- and up here my dh's family has a roast. Not even sure where to buy a honey-baked ham up here... Sniff... (not that a roast is bad, but I do love the sweet glazed ham)

I love fried turkey, but we marinate our turkey, wrap it in foil and put it outside on the grill. It's so moist and tender, and so yummy. We havent decided if we're gonna have that or ham. With either of those, we'll have real macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, greens, cranberry sauce and lots of dessert.

On Christmas Eve our traditional menu is Pork chops with mustard and mushroom sauce, mashed potatoes, peas and this year DS's g/f is making a no-bake cheese cake for dessert.

Christmas Day morning all 3 of my lot drag their hineys, so we decided on brunch and will have a cheese fondue for supper.

Turkey with all the trimmings on Boxing Day and then leftovers til New Years.LOL

Lumbele, I got a really nice fondue pot for xmas last year and haven't really used it. Do you have some suggestions for things to make with it?

RG, DH is cleaning our copper pot as we speak. It had oxydised so badly, you couldn't recognise the metal. That ought to tell you how long we haven't used ours.LOL
The possibilities for fondues are endless. Meat, fish, cheese, chocolate. Was there something in particular you were interested in?

A good cheese sauce is one thing I haven't found, and what do you use for a chocolate fondue?

We used to have fondue parties all the time in high school!! I especially love the tradition when you drop your meat/bread/fruit into the pot!

Well all my planning and excitement fell by the wayside last Thursday when I started running a fever. By Thursday afternoon I was in the doctors office and tested positive for the flu. My husband and my son planned and cooked our Christmas dinner (and every other meal we have had). They did a good job preparing steak and shrimp on the grill (even though the high temp that day was only 12). They also prepared a salad mashed potatoes and rolls. No dessert - although I could have cared less about any of it.

So...... New Year's Day will be our holiday feast when I prepare the previously planned menu.

I hope everyone had a great day! and that you meal was just like you wanted! Happy New Year!

{{{hugs}} I'm glad things are looking up... what troopers!! We love to grill out too, no matter the temp (ok, well below zero does push it!! LOL at the memories of trying to grill with a foot of now on top of the grill!! and you do use more charcoal to keep the grill hot!

our dinner weent fine! Love prime rib! My apple pie is garbage! Ewww. I want to try try again later!! (too much juice so the bottom crust is way too soggy uggg! The apples are fine, the flavor good, but the juice is toooooo much!)

So sorry to hear you were sick, BigD. Just wanted to let you know the chocolate desert was positively sinfull!!!

Next time I make it, tho I will make it 6 ramekins instead of 4, neither of us could finish it, it was so rich. Put it was so easy to make it couldn't have taken more than 5 minutes.
