First I had some Dove dark chocolate. Then the pizza I had been lusting after for some time. I will have some more chocolate later today, along with some China oolong.

Charles, None of this [ aldenteblog.com] or this [ allrecipes.com] or even this? [ juniorscheesecake.com] Merry Christmas! In IC XC, Father Anthony+

All of this looks very good! I played and conducted choir at a choral concert, then Midnight Mass and Christmas Day masses this morning. After I rest a bit I will tackle the other goodies!

Christ is Born! Glorify Him! Christine welcome to the forum! I ate too much good food, finsihed the day off with grapefruit and pomegrante The granbaby is trying to figure out the birthday stuff, and all our kids like pineapple upside down cake for their birthdays. So where there is cake Marley thinks it is someones birthday. We have been telling him, his birthday is a week after Jesus's birthday - Dec. 31. So, today we had pinapple upside down cake for Jesus's birthday.

Late-morning treat
Cinammon buns, lavishly frosted with whatever that delicious stuff is (cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar, I think)
Appetizers
Various cheeses with crackers
Various dips with carrots, celery, broccoli, peppers, and cauliflower
Olives
Pickles
Prune bread (which sounds unlikely, but was quite good with cream cheese spread on it)
Cranberry juice with ginger ale and either vanilla ice cream or sherbet (orange, lemon, or lime)
Eggnog
Main course
Ham
Mashed potatoes
Sweet potatoes, glazed with honey or not
Butternut squash, with or without marshmallows on top
Carrots, glazed with honey
Peas
Corn
Swiss chard, topped with crumbled hard-boiled egg
Pearl onions, creamed
Cranberry sauce, jellied or whole
Cranberry-orange relish
Dinner rolls
Dessert
Apple pie, topped with vanilla ice cream or cheddar cheese (or, in my case, both)
Mince pie
Coffee or tea
An excellent meal, though I long for turkey and all its typical accompaniments. Foiling my wishes is the conventional wisdom that, with the time that must be alloted to little ones unwrapping gifts - marveling over them - and trying out each, that ham is a better choice, logistically.
So, I will wait patiently until Pascha, when I'll lobby again for Tom. (I did manage to get cranberries included in the menu, another success for my long-standing campaign to convince everyone that they are an excellent side dish for most any meat, poultry, or fish.)
Alice,
Cranberries cooked in maple syrup sounds delicious - would love to get that recipe.
Many years,
Neil

SS - what did you have with your nice fresh acorns ? What do squirrels actually drink ? I know we had a gerbil that drank orange juice of his owner's finger every morning when he had his breakfast [ OJ and toast and marmelade - I kid you not ]
