The menu sounds lovely. Wish we could be there! I've told you in the past that we have eaten at your son's restaurant twice. It is very good quality. Hopefully we will make it to Lexington in the next couple of months. We love that little town.

This link is to a Niman Ranch website in which they reproduce a recipe from Molly Stevens' great cookbook, All About Braising. It's for a fancy pot roast called Estouffade de Noel, or Christmas Estouffade. Naturally they call for Niman Ranch products, and I'm sure they're excellent, but I have made this Estouffade before with ordinary supermarket meats and it has come out absolutely delicious. One advantage to it is that it can be for the most part cooked a day or two in advance, so your last minute task is simply to reheat it and cook up some sort of noodle to soak up the scrumptious juices. It's fabulous. Very rich and elegant but not at all stuffy or fussy. The pig's foot does make the dish rich, but you needn't bother picking off the meat and chopping it up at the end if you don't want to. (My dog did appreciate the pig foot, though.) Here is a link that might be useful: Estouffade de Noel

Christmas Eve is our big family gathering, we include a dinner for 20. We serve buffet style, but sit at dining tables. (I discovered that 20 is the perfect number: 10 at the DR, 10 in the sunroom at two folding banquet tables) We went with a simple dinner menu this year: beef tenderloin, mashed potatoes (two trays from costco, they were great, and pretty in my new red-orange Dansk pan) and a simple Chistmas salad my aunt made. Elegant! Appetizers were made/brought by others: just shrimp w/sauce, an artichoke dip with crackers, and my kids always make the classic Lipton soup dip. Dessert was the most complicated: DH made his mom's Walnut glory cake which calls for 9 count'em 9 separated eggs. But it's not called "glory" for nothing! Our Scandinavian tradition calls for rice pudding which, for the first time, came from my kitchen. It was a tad soupy, but delicious. And folks brought cookies and candy. Christmas morning DH made our traditional "Eggs McDH" and mimosas. We forgot to make the fruit medley, but that's okay. Then we went to my folks' and my brothers met us up there, for baked French toast (made with Challah, best French toast ever!) and bacon. Christmas night is our quiet intimate dinner at home of leftovers, at the dining room table with the party dinnerware. Me, I felt like the Very Hungry Caterpillar: I ate "one nice green leaf and felt much better". Literally, I had the salad with no dressing lol! Ahhh.

What Are Your Plans for New Year's Eve?

Lol, the oliebollen also sound like Jewish sufganiyah, a fried jam filled treat served for Hanukkah. We usually stay at home, off the road on New Year's eve. We will have our Sprites over for the night so that their g'pa can have a small adult gathering next door. We will go over for a little while to enjoy some of his delicious munchies and to let the girls mingle for a bit. They are great in grown up company, and they like G'pa's friends. But they are very happy to stay with us for the night. We'll play games, have a snack, they'll take their shower and get into their new flannels. Their goal is to stay up until midnight, heh heh heh. But by the time we watch a movie, read a chapter of Anne of Green Gables........zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Nothing special planned for NYE, as we don't close our business still 6 p.m. but we are going to a New Years Day party. So much nicer than going out on the big night.

We usually have prime rib and crab legs, but not sure how we are going to fit it in this year.....I'm part of the committee putting on Celebration Johnstown so I will probably be working part of it. Our celebration is more or less a First Night but without paying the royalties.

We are having our Christmas, which Ma Nature butted into, on New Years Day, and I think it will be pretty much buffet stuff....ham, meatballs, scalloped potatoes, salads, cauliflower and broccoli bake.

Since our first NYE together in 1982, Dean and I have had surf & turf...rib-eye steaks and snow crab. I know he and Caryn were also talking about making home made clam chowder too. Not sure who will be joining us, but all the kids are always invited.

Usually, we stay home on New Year's eve but this year, we bought tickets to a dinner/dance. Good friends of ours are in the band, so it should be fun.

"Back in the day" DH and I had a social circle of 8-10 couples who always had a party on New Years Eve, hosted in the home of one or another of the couples.

Now there are few of those friends left, or able to be out and about. There hasn't been a NYE party for several years. I was talking with one of those friends last night about the good times we had and how we miss that and those folks who aren't with us now. Great memories!

Tradition calls for Black-eyed peas on New Years Day (and for some, cabbage also.) This year I am trying something new: Black-eyed Pea Soup, a recipe given to me by a neighbor. Hope it turns out good!
