Christmas dinner menus? Here is mine- please share yours

Paella and garlic bread (yup, we're odd)

REC: Crispy Crunchy Garlic Bread

1 loaf bread, unsliced - French or sourdough
1/3 cp. butter
3 cloves garlic (baked is best - see below)


Preheat oven to 500 deg. Mix butter with finely minced (or baked) garlic. Cut bread into thick slices and lay on cookie sheet. Bake in oven until beginning to brown. Remove from oven and spread with garlic butter. Return bread to oven, turn to broil and check bread every couple of minutes until butter is bubbly and it is as browned as you like.

Roasted Garlic
Cut a slice off top of 1 whole head garlic, to expose the cloves. Put the head on a square of foil. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Wrap tightly and place in oven or toaster oven on 400 deg. for about 25 min. You’ll know it is done when you can sqeeze the sides of the foil and it is soft. To keep the garlic for future use, squeeze the garlic cloves into a jar with a little olive oil.

Same ol' same ol' over here

Pork rib with sauerkraut, potatoes, small sausages, meatballs and gravy for my better half,


and smoked lamb rib with mashed swede and potatoes for me.

Dessert will be rice pudding with berry sauce.

That's what we've had for Christmas dinner for 36 years, and that's what we'll have for Christmas dinner the next 36 years. smileys/bigsmile.gif

 
Czech Christmas dinner: Carp soup with homemade croutons, potato salad, breaded and fried carp filet

Plus about 40 dozen cookies, later.

 
Wedges of icy cold iceburg sprinled with some diced tomato would be lovely with the dressing.

 
We're invited to friend's and Prime Rib is being served. I'll make Moyn's Killer Tomatoes

and Meryl's Mexican Chocolate Icebox Cake, along with an assorment of cookies.
