BarbB Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Mushroom stuffed beef tenderloin, spinach salad, green beans with carmelized onions and potato casserole...it was good! Although, I have to say the fresh prawns in garlic butter and the lamb sound mighty good as well!Hope yours was merry...Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellie Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Well, let's see. There was a LOT of food. Prime rib, Alaskan king crab legs with drawn butter, corn casserole, creamed onions, candied sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, scalloped potatoes, romaine salad with walnuts, grapes and bleu cheese... that doesn't count the hors d'oeurves. I'm told there's a pumpkin pie somewhere, but thank goodness I haven't seen it! I think I've had enough for one day. Sure was good, though.

ECatw Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Ah.. one of my favorite subjects- food! We had Prime rib, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, honey carrots, sweet potatoes, popovers, and homemade lemon-"RASPBERRY" cake with lemon buttercream icing! Yum-Yum!

The Kiwi Connection Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Everyone talks about having "Green Bean Casserole"what is it and how do you make it? Could someone please PM or email me the recipe!!We've noticed that mashed potatoes seem to be the order of the day. If I served up mashed potatoes for Christmas Dinner I'd have a "mutiny" on my hands. Traditionally here we have Boiled New Potatoes,(with skins on) tossed in butter and chopped parsley, and Roasted Old Potatoes.When you say "Prime Rib" do you mean Steaks or Roast Beef?

ECatw Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 When you say "Prime Rib" do you mean Steaks or Roast Beef? Kiwi,In our house prime rib means Roast beef with the ribs (or you can buy boneless). It's kinda like the cut of meat that's a rack of lamb(which I also love!) but only from a cow instead of a lamb. Also, mashed potatoes- one of America's best comfort foods. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
