I meant to do this earlier...

This is mostly for my own record- the menus for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. There were so many good things- I want to make sure I can duplicate them next year. Some are recipes I've posted here in the past. They're worth repeating.

Christmas Eve:

Appetizers-

Liptauer Cheese http://kiraskitchen.blogspot.com/2008/11/thanksgiving-2008.html and assorted cheeses including Boursin and Brie; toasted French bread.
Pigs in a blanket. Yeah. The little Hillshire Farm sausages baked in crescent rolls. :p
Deviled nuts http://kiraskitchen.blogspot.com/2007/10/snack-for-halftime.html

Main-

Lobsters! *yum*
Salad with black walnuts, cranberries, red onion and greens, with a raspberry vinagrette.
Lemon Spaghetti
Dessert- Charlotte http://kiraskitchen.blogspot.com/2007/12/quick-holiday-dessert.html

Christmas Dinner-

Salad with greens, sliced raw beets and fennel, orange slices.

Spätzle- little dumplings - I'm too lazy to make my own, though I have the equipment. I use the Maggi brand- after cooking, I toss it with butter and grated Parmesan cheese.
Pineapple au Gratin http://kiraskitchen.blogspot.com/2007/11/for-thanksgiving.html
Scalloped Potatoes
Wild Boar ham
Buffalo
Elk
Smoked Turkey
All the meats were ordered from the Cabella's catalog- all cooked, just had to be heated.
Red cabbage (from the jar. Easy!)

Stawberry Trifle, and the cake from my last post.

Good eating. Everything was enjoyed by everyone!
