What did you have to eat on this wonderful Christmas Day?

Mashed potatoes and bear, with cut out cookies for desert. I've never had bear before, tastes just like beef. But I guess if I'm gonna eat a cow I might as well try bear.

Spiral cut ham with cheesy potatoes (locally known as funeral potatoes ), rolls, and cheesecake and pumpkin cake for dessert. I wish it was all gone now though because I don't need to be eating leftovers for days!

Is John's son single?! (oh, and I guess over the age of 25 would be good, lol). Heck if he cooks like that, tell him you have a nice single friend who also enjoys gourmet cooking and baking in Allentown!!

No, Jenn, he isn't. The kitchen is sacred and nobody is allowed in while he's cooking. He's truly amazing. He makes Indian food, Mexican (chicken mole etc) Everything he does, as simple as it is, is delectable. Just the right spices and stuff. He's taught me alot so now I'm into experimenting. He bought me huge Italian and Mexican cookbooks for Christmas. Yummo! I recently made Mai Poh Tofu and it came out just like the restuarant's.

Oh well, I'd just use him for his cooking skills anyway, lol!!


Our dinner was subdued... just me, mom and dad. We had ham, baked potatoes, spinach with hot bacon dressing (a PA Dutch thing), broccoli normandy (broccoli, carrots and cauliflower w/ toasted bread cubes). We normally have sweet potatoes and rolls, but mom decided against adding more starch. For dessert we went to my brother's house, and took over coconut custard and shared that along with a ton of other desserts already there.

My sister in law's brother's girlfriend (I think I got that right..) made this bourbon chocolate mouse last night that was to die for!! I'm allergic to chocolate, but I ate some anyway! It was soooo chocolatey, soooo rich, it was just heaven. And she must have used half a bottle of bourbon, lol. Wow!!!
