Something Delicious

Nadeest · 12-22-2012, 09:43 PM

Since I will be staying at home, by myself, this Christmas, I am going to have a very simple meal: Cabbage soup and cornbread. What is everyone else planning to have, that day?

We are going to Kris' mother's for lunch, she always does a baked ham, and we're having baked potatoes... and I can't remember what else except that I thought it all sounded a bit heavy for lunch on a hot Summer's day, and we're bringing a salad. She's a fabulous cook, but I long for a White Christmas. The traditional Christmas fare makes much more sense in cold weather. In the middle of a heatwave, it's just nonsensical!

I hope your Christmas is a peaceful and enjoyable one, Nadeest.

Yes, that does sounds a bit heavy, for a summer's day. Perhaps, one day, your family will start doing a bbq or something like that, for this holiday, instead.

We are doing Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve this year and going a little lighter then our usual menu. There will be roast beef, scalloped potatoes, Harvard beats, brown sugar curried carrots, a broccoli and pea salad, and a lime jello salad... with rolls of course. I believe we will have mincemeat pie and pumpkin pie, and my kids are going to make a pudding pie. This is less then half the usual, I am SOO glad. Christmas day we will add a pistachio pudding salad, a relish tray, cressants, and a turkey with sandwich fixings.

I am really hopping Christmas can be a bit more relaxing for the cooks this year (my mom and I) and still fulfill everyone's holiday cravings.

Greetings Delicious people!

I have been insanely busy but thinking of you all and hoping that you are all having a wonderful weekend.

My head is spinning with menu's and such and burn out is setting in but I am looking forward to a day off tomorrow to rest and think clearly about what I am actually cooking. Special requests so far were for vegetable lasagna and mussels in garlic sauce. A non traditional holiday so far. There will be baked ham on Christmas day but other than that, some new menu items.

This past week I have been working with a new company and recovering from whacking my head on the corner of a garden shed roof while I was out back trying to coax my kitten down from a tree, which did not work at all. I hit my head pretty hard and came away with a cut and a lot of pain. Had trouble focusing for a few days, but I am ok. The kitten had to be rescued by a neighbor. The little guy was about 50 feet up and terrified. He is an escape artist for sure. Not sure what to do about him. He seems to be chasing a cute little kitten who is very pretty. The boy is a kittenizer charmer.

Oh dear, sorry to hear about your accident Sun!
I've whacked my head on the corner of an open cupboard door and it really hurts - let alone getting a cut as well, you must have done a good job on it!

I hope he doesn't do it again. 50 feet up is a long way!

Heading to Moms for holiday-- she's making pork roast, spinach, mashed potatoes, green beans and apples. I'm making squash casserole and spicy butternut again. We'll have apple turnovers with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Simple.

Nadeest have you posted your recipe for the cabbage soup? My mother made cabbage soup but I never got her recipe.

I don't have a recipe. I just chop up some cabbage and onions, add pepper, salt, and water; then start cooking. I do add ham, or a ham bone, if I have it available.
