I'm going to guess our great dane before everything is said and done.


Then my wife will discipline her with a very harsh "bad doggy" and she'll (the dane) look at me like "thats it? you married one dumb woman" and I'll just nod in agreement and go back to my crown and coke.

We do a Swedish Christmas dinner with lots of good food.

English Dinner: Standing Rib Roast, horseradish sauce, variety of roasted veggies, sour cream and chive mashed potatoes, baby field green salad with mandarin oranges, sunflower seeds, purple onion; and giant popovers (instead of Yorkshire pudding). Served with Cabernet Suavignon wine.

Dessert: Variety of homemade European-style and American Christmas cookies. Sumatra coffee.

That sounds great. Can I come over for leftovers?

[BucEyedPea]

Sure, if there's any left.

[Donger]

Bangers and mash, as always. And, crackers. Not the kind one eats.

I found out yesterday that crackker doesn't work here. :)

Bangers on Christmas?
You ancestral Brits like such gross dishes. Will there be blood pudding for dessert?

I'm surprised your Italian wife is letting you get away with this.

Well, that made my post seems a little odd....

She love bangers and mash. I forget what the dessert is called. It's a squishy thing upside down, drizzled with gooey stuff.

[Dunit35]

Crab legs, variety of shrimp, variety of taters, etc...

We serve the Swedish version of Bangers called Korv. Not quite the same but delicious.

I don't any Italian that doesn't like some sort of sausage. But for Christmas dinner? :hmmm:

[Demonpenz]

whatever restaurant is open.

She's vastly outnumbered.

Breakfast will be scrambled eggs, homemade cowboy biscuits with butter and jam, coffee, and fresh-squeezed orange juice.

Dinner is a roast with potatoes and vegetables served with a bordeau. I rarely eat meat, so this will be a treat. The beautiful and witty Mrs. FAX makes one heck of a roast.

I don't think I'll have lunch, though. Especially if I receive the drum machine I asked for. I'll be too excited to eat.

Sounds like, based on your earlier post, that you serve up a variety of items...like a buffet. Or since you sound like Swedish ancestry—a smorgashboard. That I can see as Christamas'y for a Swede.

I make whole grain cranberry walnut sour cream muffins for breakfast every Christmas. And some fruit. I have a mid afternoon dinner which replaces lunch and supper.

It's definitely a smorgasboard of good food. Sausage was a treat (and served on special occasions) because as most people don't know, in the late 1800s/early 1900s Swedes were very poor. That's why I live in America.

oh probably a ham or turkey, I don't know what my mum is making yet. I remember a long time ago when I was in Jr High my mom decided to make a lasagna for x-mas, change it up and everybody loves lasagna. I told one of my peers that we had that and he was a pretty hard core christian and grown up in an ultra-conservative family. Well, according to him we are going to hell for having that for x-mas because it's not a traditional meal. Don't know what I brought that up but thought I'd share

no, too small a crowd to eat a big dinner. Aunt, cousin and maybe a sister are going to hit a buffet.
