...no, not the real one, the one we EAT at home. Working around family schedules landed us on Christmas Eve this year. We'll start with appetizers: smoked salmon with a variety of aged cheeses, smoked salami, sautéed shrimp and wines. Main courses are a little excessive (but trying to please the most folks): A goose, a beef tenderloin with hollandaise, and a honey-baked ham. Some rolls and some Yorkshire puddings. Broccoli and mashed potatoes. Dessert will be chocolates, some home made cookies, pecan pie, brownies, coffee and liqueurs. I'm feeling pleasantly stuffed just thinking about it all. The surprise for us was finding out that goose and water fowl in general is to be treated as red meat and not to be overcooked, but eaten medium rare or so. We'll see how that goes!
