We've finally done it, sat down and made the menu for Christmas Dinner. We're sort of toning it down this year by making things that we really liked for past Christmas dinners. No real new recipes for Christmas dinner this year. Dinner will be Alton Brown's Beef Tenderloin, Mashed Potatoes, Wild Rice Pilaf, Gala Stuffed Apples, Roasted Carrots and Sauteed Green Beans. The best thing is that three or four of these things can be made the day before, and reheated. And Brian and I are both off tomorrow so that's totally doable. :) I can already TASTE everything!
Speaking of Alton Brown, I was at knitting the other night and somehow a conversation started about our good friend A.B. (Brian wishes he was a good friend, anyway!) Turns out one of my knitty friends is also a devoted AB and "Good Eats" fan. And she's made his brined Thanksgiving Turkey! Brian's always wanted to try this....but so far we haven't. We chatted about his 10th anniversary celebration show and both agree that what A.B. describes his show as is as perfect a description as they come: "my show is like a mix of Julia Child, Mr. Wizard and Monty Python." Yes!!!
