Awesome in it's simplicity. The Hollandaise adds class and elegance.

For me a culinary trained relative is hosting his annual dinner. It includes things like goat cheese dip, handmade ravioli, roasted lamb... espresso drinks.

Cheers all!

 

[similost]

Sounds like you're in for a great treat HH...

 

[John James]

We tried a Turducken Breast this year along with sweet potato's and baby peas with pearl onions and mushrooms. This was my first experience with Turducken and will not be the last.

 

[HandyHamlet]

Sounds like you're in for a great treat HH...

Yep. We compare his classical training with my on-the-job experience. I look like a hack most of the time!

Anyway... I'm getting tenderloins for $3.99 lb lately. I always do medallions but I think I'll try your menu next. Turn the baked into double-baked potatoes and you have most of my favorites covered.


Happy Holidays all!

Oven roasted baby piglet & two legs of lamb, oven potatoes in olive oil lemon & oregano, baked pasta with meat sauce covered with beshamel, smoked salmon, caviar on a bed of whipped hard-boiled eggs sprinkled with fresh challots, spinach quiche. Various appetizers and deserts.

Expecting around 25-30 family and friends.

Live music as well....friends are bringing instruments (acoustic but then again you never know)

Time to reflect as to how lucky we are and to give a prayer for those less fortunate.

Merry Christmas!

The tenderloin will be on a rack, then under it in bacon grease will be garlic and mushrooms to impart some flavor..

I thought about stuffed, but I just didn't feel like working that hard..

 

[BULLWINKLE]

Chicken cutlets
Green bean casserole
Oyster dressing
Truffled mashed potato's
Chardonnay

I'm having some honey ham, mashed spuds, and real cranberry sauce. Yeah, I know it's not Thanksgiving, but that sauce is delicious!

 

[similost]

Oh yeah.. forgot we're having cranberry sauce too... just gotta... and not sure which wine yet, but I did get some port for desert to go with the chocolate cake..
