Dinner tonight - or last night.

Today, made chili...with soft pintos instead of those hard red kidney beans...added a can of tomatoes and chipped celery

Dang, we ate all the cornbread...will warm up left over stuffing...haha.

Trying to eat all the food in the house, since we're moving next week.

Beer...noting a beverage pattern...

Yeah, osso. I've never been talented or creative in the kitchen. I plan to get some ideas from here.

Tonight, spiced beef roasted for 5 hours with thyme, bay leaves, peppercorn, celery, carrots and a bottle of stout.

And (of couse) the ubiquitous boiled spuds.

just checked with the kitchen crew - everything coming along nicely - will start carving in about half an hour
hope there will be LOTS OF PREZZIES tonight :wink:

"Today, made chili...with soft pintos instead of those hard red kidney beans...added a can of tomatoes and chipped celery" - yes, I just don't get the red kidney beans, little taste. Pintos = good.

I had chicken satay last night.

I tried a new squash soup recipe. It was out of this world. It called for fresh ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg (just a touch of the last two.) Topped it off with a dollop of sour cream laced with fresh ginger and our Styrian pumpkinseed oil.

Since we celebrate on the 24th, our big meal today was left-overs. And good left-overs they were.

Dark turkey meat in gravy, sliced cold white turkey meat, potato dumplings, boiled blue/white and red baby taters, herring salad, brussel sprouts, bok choy cooked with mushrooms/onions and double smoked bacon, corn, cranberry jelly, carrot juice, cranberry juice, garden cocktail

I'm forgetting something

~~~

For dessert - 2 hours later - Danish Kringle, speculaas cookies, and tea. I'm having chocolate chai while everyone else is having some kind of regular tea.

Wild boer in a an apple/dried plum gravy, cauliflower and broccoli, potatoes. Christmas-spiced icecream, vanilla sauce, fruit sauce.

mmmhhh, I love wild boar - unfortunately you hardly can get it here,
so by popular demand we're having Wiener Schnitzel with potatoe salad
tonight, and for dessert Napoleon's.

walter hunting for his supper - THE BOAR HUNT BY RUBENS

Well, though I wasn't hunting at all - today:

red deer medallions with mushrooms, sprouts, and roasted potatoes; strawberry icecream with a "nutty" chocolate sauce.

I want to eat with Walter, dang.

The Gangsta and Don Cicci took us to the casino to have Christmas dinner. FABulous ham in the best orange sauce evah! Candied yams, mashed potatoes, salad, cream of chicken soup (wow, tasted a lot better than it sounds), some hideous vegatable melange I didn't even touch. Hey, can't win em all...

I must find the orange sauce recipe!

Will be exercising like mad over all those carbs.

The minor problem: we've finished already.

But you're invited ... any time :wink:

<smiles at Walter>

I've noticed you eat really yummy sounding stuff on a pretty regular basis, so I'm confident any time I show up for dinner will be a scrumptious expeience.

Do they farm raise wild boar for market in Germany Walter?
Some have tried it around here and have had miserable luck because the boars were always able to dig their ways out of any confinement systems .


We had a rib roast , yorkey pudding, winter veggies , and mince pie. ABout the only thing we didnt have was wenches and court jesters.
For dessert we had vanilla ice cream and an almond creme sauce with coconut macaroons. (I was the macaroon maker).


Itll be oatmeal for a coupla days after that. We have another big pig-out on the 30th.

Not really, farmerman. You may get some wild boar from some "fenced areas", though.
Waldeck and Pyrmont,
(I get my game from the forest of the Prince of Waldeck and Pyrmont - a friend of us is the librarian in Princely Library, so we get it via her "influence" :wink: )

Roasted pork loin with roasted potatoes and roasted onions, followed by homemade apple pie - at Diane and Dys' home... outstanding.

and the sheep will sleep with lion ... i never imagined that walter would
mingle with the princely crowd ! i guess if you want the best game there is little choice .

We're trying to use up what we have and I am SO TIRED OF SALAD...we had celery and onions and tortilla wraps.

So, I got some cheese and salsa. I sauteed the onion and celery, spread them between two wraps with salsa and cheese (Monty and Colby).

I nuked them to melt the cheese a bit and then put the oven on broil...and slapped them in there for 3 minutes.

OMG yummy! Quesadillas.

Vito had the leftovers from Christmas dinner as well.

St Pauli Girl bier...

A bier is a flat frame, traditionally wooden but sometimes made of other materials, used to carry a corpse for burial in a funeral procession. In antiquity it was often simply a wooden board on which the dead was placed covered with a shroud. In modern times, however, the corpse is almost never carried on the bier without being first placed in a coffin, though the coffin is sometimes kept open.

St. Pauli is a German football club based in the St. Pauli district of Hamburg. The football department is part of a larger sports club that also has Rugby, American football, baseball, bowling, chess, cycling, handball, skittles, softball and table tennis teams. While the footballers have enjoyed only modest success on the field, the club is widely recognized for its unique culture and has a large popular following as one of the country's "Kult" clubs. St. Pauli has secured promotion to the 2. Bundesliga for the 2007/08 Season.
