Its a matter of personal preference, but I wouldn't want a soup and a stew in the
same meal. That's kind of redundant. That's kind of redundant. What about a soup as
an appetiser and maybe lasagna as the main course? You could do an Italian theme
with the lasagna, some nice crusty garlic bread, a green salad, maybe a cheese
platter, some nice wine, with some type of Italian soup such as minestrone and maybe
one or two Italian pastries for dessert.

Even if Jesus as a Savior is debatable by religions, how can you say

I assumed that Shel was referring to German-style, where pork is de

seafood...um...

Roast fresh ham and perhaps lasagna (or some baked pasta dish)
and a seafood dish are traditional.

Since when is turkey traditional, if there was a Jesus (there was not)
he never
even saw a turkey, leastways not one with feathers.

Roast fresh ham and perhaps lasagna (or some baked pasta dish) and a
seafood
dish are traditional.

"Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

But enough of that, I can get with the program. I've done (and might this
year) a mixed grill, with grilled pork loin, grilled/hot smoked salmon and
sausages, accompanied by vegetables both cooked and raw. Or I may prepare
sauerbraten with potato dumplings and red cabbage, kaffee mit schlag for
dessert.

I wish I had a grill. Maybe next year, after we redo our deck...

What does Jesas(sic) have to do with Christmas, anyway?

There will be no US Bigbird-style Christmas for me, this year. I am
cooking rumaki, spinach salad, seafood gumbo with rice and french
bread. No decision on desserts.

It's been reported in many reputable newspapers, and maybe
even some of Rupee Murdoch's too.

Any ideas for soups, stews and breads that sound Xmas-like? I was thinking
of beef stew and a lighter soup, and for breads having challah, herb, and
about 2 others.


I once had a fabulous creamy chestnut and wild mushroom soup for christmas.
It was almost like a biqsue, I suppose. Very nice.

My mom also used to make a really nice asparagus and pine nut 'stuffing'
baked in a roll of buttery puff pastry. Yum.

I could dig up the recipe for the asparagus roll if you're interested.

Being in Tasmania (Australia) Christmas of course falls in Summer.
For many years we have followed tradition and had a hot cooked meal.
Imagine it being around 95 degrees F and having the oven on most of
the day cooking pork, turkey, chicken, vegetables etc.
The last couple of years I have prepared a cold lunch and we have
eaten it outside on tables set up in the shade.

This years menu (at this stage) is :-

Spinach dip, smoked salmon and cucumber rounds, a large platter of
oysters, scallops and prawns with a coriander and lime dressing, cold
meats like ham, turkey, chicken, pork etc, scotch eggs (a family
favourite) coleslaw, german potato salad, tossed salad or green
salad, rice salad, fresh asparagus, fresh beet root (beets?), fresh
rolls etc.
Dessert will be raspberry mousse served in chocolate baskets, pavlova,
cheesecake and summer pudding followed by a cheese board.

I'm in Melbourne
We too are doing the whole cold cuts and fresh seafood thing.
Fresh buffalo mozzerella with roma tomato and basil to start and lots of
good things.

Taking the dining table out into the courtyard, setting up the market
umbrella, and drinks on ice in tubs.
Yum !
