Christmas menu...
 
I plan to make whipped butternut squash for christmas instead of mashed
yams.....

I'll just add butter and pepper, and let the guests add how ever much
salt they might want.

That will go with roast duckling (halved) and a mix of steamed baby
artichokes, baby carrots and probably some other mini-veggies, whatever
central market has on hand. They usually have teensy little summer
squashes too. I'll probably add whole pearl onions to the mix. Should be
a nice presentation. I'll dress them with olive oil and salt free lemon
pepper.

Steamed asparagus separately with a cheese sauce in a container so it'll
be optional.

Not sure whether to make gravy or not. There is really nothing that
warrants it, but it could be good with the meat. I may do some sort of
wine sauce instead. I have plenty of frozen stock on hand at the moment.

Maybe, since you're serving duckling, make a citrus-type sauce? That might
be an option.

Orange sauce is a standard for duck (in fact, a lot of ducklings come
with an orange glaze packet), but I don't like it.

Thanks anyway luv! :-)
