Since I'm having Christmas at our house this year, but only 3 family members are coming, I decided to go a totally different route food-wise than usual. As you all know, I'm from Germany, and have yet to cook a somewhat authentic German meal for my extended family. Well this year I'll give it a shot. Here's what's on my menu (and yes, Alex had to add some "traditional" foods as well in case nobody likes the other stuff :-[)
SAUERBRATEN (I will place the 5 lbs roast in the marinade tomorrow since it's gotta sit in it for 4-5 days)
Spiral Ham
SPECKKNOEDEL (= bacon dumplings)
PIEROGIS (my MIL will make them from scratch over the weekend)
fresh Brussel Sprouts in Hollondaise Sauce
Green Bean Casserole smothered in sauteed onions
Of course there'll be tons of appetizers AND I'll be making a German Strawberry Wine Punch. ;D
What's on everybody else's menu? Please share.
