My mom is making turkey, ham, deviled eggs and mashed potatoes. Of course
there will be plenty of raw vegetables. There always are. And olives. But
never enough of those.

I will be making those Persian chickpea flour cookies that Wendy posted the
recipe for, some no bake oatmeal snowballs, peppermint bark (need to use up
the bloomed chocolate in my cupboard) and also cranberry salad. Brother and
SIL are also bringing desserts. Most likely pie.

If I ever find Marsala wine (tried two stores and couldn't find it) I will
be making chicken Marsala for Christmas day dinner. Angela begged me to
look in a cookbook of only chicken recipes the other day. Of course she was
allergic to pretty much everything in there. I just went through the
recipes I have stored on my computer and organized them. It's either that
or Chicken Diane but it has Dijon mustard in it. I really hate mustard.
But I guess if I can't find the Marsala I will get the mustard and also
green onions. I don't have a dessert planned for Christmas day. I picked
up some Little Debbie cakes for my husband. And I am hoping there will be
cookies left.

Sooo... Change of plans. Will be making lemon chicken instead. I also
found a recipe for Chicken Piccata that sounded good but it called for white
wine. Angela had gone all Carrie Nation on me and has threatened to throw
the chicken out if I use any wine in the recipe. *sigh*

Tell her that the alcohol cooks out very rapidly.

She doesn't care. She still won't eat it. My brother was and is the same
way. He did however eat my brandy laced fruitcake. He just didn't know it
had liquor in it.

Dammit. I can't! I already saw it and now it is stuck in my brain!

Long story short, Angela is refusing to eat any food with liquor in it. So
I will be making lemon chicken instead.

did you tell her the alcohol 'burns off' in the cooking process, she
isn't eating alcohol laden food, but FLAVOURED food?

She knows that.
