We don't really have a typical meal here so we try to be original (using more expensive food) but we have our favourites: -oysters,smoked salmon , foie gras (sorry for those who might find it cruel) , coquilles st jacques ,sea food in general for starters (in posh restaurants they don't translate I hope you understand what I mean about the coquilles). -game is very popular for the main course,lobsters ,burbot (or monkfish? river/sea, can't understand the difference in my dictionary but I've cooked it before it's delicious) or capon or goose provided you have a lot of guests , pigeonsl... -as for dessert nothing in particular apart from the 'bûche'( which looks like a log) and is a 'must', but I like the 'omelette norvegienne' very much (icecream topped with meringue). I'm hungry now... I'll be the one who will do the cooking on Christmas day so...I'll try to do my best.Hope they'll like it though I haven't decided what they will eat yet.

Roast Goose with Wild Rice Stuffing ..... accompanied by a plethora of veggie dishes, salads & seafood casserole. Desserts of gingerbread, mincemeat tarts, chocolate custard pudding etc. But it's the ambience of it all with the Christmas Carols playing softly in the background, the twinkling of the seasonal lights, flickering of the fireplace, laughter, chatter, and (hopefully) snow gently falling through the window panes. Oh, and the eggnog, wine & beer. The fusion of all these sensory stimuli is what makes it such a magical, happy, memorable, special, unique day in the calendar.
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination.
Whether you think you can or you can't .... you're probably right!

We will do the whole thing for Christmas dinner (eaten around the middle of the day). Whole roast turkey with my favourite stuffing of sausage meat with extra mustard and onions folded in the middle in the neck end only and an onion inside the bird - turkey will be smothered with streaky bacon before roasting, crispy roast potatoes, brussel sprouts finished off with a few lardons in the frying pan, carrots, no doubt peas, pigs in blankets (small sausages wrapped with bacon then roasted), might be roasted sweet potoatoes if I can find them - these are a recent addition to our regular English menu choices but we like them as lot, and gravy made from the giblets I like a bit of cranberry sauce with the turkey - we have English Christmas pudding (home-made) for dessert with custard or cream. . In the evening (assuming we are not too stuffed from lunch) it will be cold cuts, a piece of cooked gammon, some of the turkey, cheeses, salad type foods, pickles etc. followed by English Christmas cake and/or trifle and/or mince pies (I make my own mincemeat). We have Christmas stockings to open in the morning and do all the pressies around the tree in the afternoon once all the washing-up is done (no dishwasher here).

LOL! Okay dokey! I don't actually measure, so these are base measurements to give you an idea. The sauce is mostly made to taste, and you can change it any way you like as far as what is used and how much. I also use the left over cheese and put it on top of my Mac & Cheese before I bake it. Katie's Cheese Sauce 2 Cups Whole Milk 2 Tablespoons Butter 1 Cup Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese 1 Cup Mozzarella Salt to taste Other tricks for unhealthy, but amazing Macaroni & Cheese Add salt to water as it boils before you add your noodles Butter noodles after they're drained (helps to keep them from sticking) CHEESE! Lots and LOTS OF GLORIOUS CHEESE! ... bacon This is an old photo of one of the last times I made it. It was very trial and error until I got it right.

That looks pretty good! My Chirstmas dinner will be spiral ham, mashed potatoes with ham gravy, and homemade dinner rolls. That's been my Christmas dinner for a few years now, and I'm looking forward to it

Nice! I don't think I've tried white cheddar before. I'll have to give that a go sometime. It took me YEARS to perfect that recipe. A lot of trail and error. Poor Dad was my guinea pig. I made it for my friend when he visited earlier this year... he liked it too. He originally wanted me to use Velveeta. It didn't last 24hrs. XD
