I baked a chicken, made some butternut squash and corn to go with it. And we had some CranFruit (orange flavor) with it all. Dessert was some cut out cookies I made.
Being Italian, we had a special meal on Christmas Eve as well. Typically, it is the Feast of the Seven Fishes (and among the 7 are Conger eel and octopus.) I made 3 fishes: salmon marinated in bouron flavoured marinade shrimp wrapped in bacone with jalapeno pepper and cheese and sea scallops wrapped in bacon (those last 2 were bought already to heat, I didn't make them.) Along with that we had sweet potatoe pancakes, and green beans. Then we had roasted chestnuts. Dessert was a Christmas trifle: dessert shell with respberry Jello, berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries), then a layer of Pistachio pudding, topped with whipped cream. (It was red, green and white, the Christmas colors.)
We have more trifle, no one wanted it today. Maybe this evening.
