I'm hosting Christmas this year, it's going to be an all-day meal really.
The family and the in-laws should be arriving around 10:30 or 11:00 so we'll have appetizers and drinks while opening presents. There will be cocktail meatballs, olives, stuffed mushrooms, roasted salted nuts, and a baked brie with pesto in puff-pastry.
For the sit-down meal we're starting with french onion soup au gratin, then a salmon mousse terrine with asparagus spears and lemon butter.
The main course is a crown roast of pork with onion-herb stuffing, potato soufflé, glazed carrots, peas, cranberry sauce and gravy.
Then a cheese tray and green salad with mandarins and tarragon vinaigrette.
For dessert it's going to be a white chocolate mousse cake with raspberry coulis.
well, I can tell you what's NOT on the menu this year. Last year I found a recipe for "spiced oranges" in the NY Times food section. Sounded so good -- marinate the oranges in spices, then slice and serve next to the turkey or ham. Thought it would taste good and look so pretty. It was deadly -- oranges tasted like perfume or incense in a bad gift shop. Good for a laugh, though. Everyone will make fun of me for years for my spiced oranges. . .Have fun and merry Christmas, and stay away from spiced oranges LOL.
