calzephyrI'm making Christmas dinner for hubs and myself tonight and then tomorrow we're going to my parents. We also have to meet up with my father-in-law and somehow get go out of town to see my mother-in-law. Regardless we're going to be well fed this holiday week!
Tonight I'm making:
turkey breasts with gravy
mashed potatoes
ginger carrots
Craisinberry sauce
homemade bread
vegetable medley
corn (for myself, since hubs does not like corn)
orange Jello
I'm unsure if there will be salad as the romaine lettuce heads I bought were tasting pretty earthy the day I bought them from Safeway. Romaine lettuce is coming from Mexico right now and that is a long way for a lettuce to travel even under the best circumstances.
I'm also going to try making pan-fried stuffing. Mom used to make this all the time and it was so delicious but I don't have the recipe. As you can imagine, it's one of those recipes that evolved over decades with a pinch of this and a bit of that which doesn't translate very well. Should I fail, there's always a back up box of stove top in the cupboard!
