Despite having a very small, strict budget, we were able to put together a good spread for Christmas eatin' this year. Most of which was already in our pantry or we only had to spend about 10 bucks for ingredients altogether. My parents brought the ham, thankfully, because there was no way we could afford one.

scaled.php?tn=0&server=620&filename=42dp.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640

Cookies and chips and ritz crackers and pretzel sticks and pumpkin pie and rolls and cheese and pineapples and olives and pickles and deviled eggs and bean mix and carrots/onions in beef broth and green bean casserole and ham and assorted sparkling juices.

Ate so much yesterday and now we have a bunch of leftovers, yay!


What kinds of foods did you all gorge on?

    That's a pretty good lookin' spread, and I love those candles.

    It was just the two of us for Christmas, but I made a delicious pumpkin lasagna that could have fed at least 10. We'll be eating it all damn week. We also had chocolate christmas cake and five varieties of cookies. I'm about to start baking some coconut cupcakes in a few moments for a party tonight. Mmmm delicious coconut buttercream. My kitchenaid is getting much abuse this week.

    Breakfast casserole in the morning, along with some hot chocolate, a seven layer salad in the afternoon, and then turkey, stuffing, and potatoes of some sort that my friends mother cooked in the evening.

    I was well fed.

    I stuffed my face with lots of tamales, beans, and rice. I come from a large mexican family so every Christmas I have tamales to look forward to NOM NOM.

    There was also a ham someone brought but I am not a huge fan so I didn't eat any. There was some home made mac n' cheese as well which was fuckin delicious.

    And booze. My mom's boyfriend made this delicious warm drink that had brandy, apple cider, cinnamon and brown sugar I think. So fuckin tasty.

    We had turkey, ham, stuffing, sweet potato souffle, amazing rolls made by my aunt, mashed potatoes, ham gravy and turkey gravy, and some things I didn't really care to eat but were probably really good.

    My son is a year old, but my wife and mother-in-law set out cookies, milk, and carrot sticks (for the reindeer) anyway. Santa polished those off in a hurry.

    Christmas Eve we had ham, fried chicken strips, green beans cooked in chicken broth, macaroni casserole, strawberry AND blueberry-based congealed salads (like fruit salad in jello)...there was other stuff, I think...squash casserole...more, but I was too busy eating it to stop and figure out what it was.

    In that case it's still alive and will be out for your blood. Turkey a mano, locked in an epic battle until Judgment Day and trumpets sound.

    I've had three Christmas dinners so far this week: two turkey and one pork. Next week we're gorging on the vol-au-vents that are going to be marked down massively in Waitrose.

    Mori's dad makes reaaaaally good beef jerky. I am chowing down on homemade beef jerky!

    I miss my mother's Christmas spread, though. British Christmases are best.

    (Yesterday we had grand marnier and nutella crepes, lamb chops, macaroni and cheese and salted asparagus and watercress, all good, but not very traditional!)

    Your dinner looks delicious, Geek!

    Warm gravy and cold leftover beef sandwiches are the nicest on Boxing Day. Might have to have some of that Christmas cake during the cricket too.
