Christmas Dinner?
Original Message   Dec 26, 2004 4:55 am
What did you all have?

Mmm, crab legs...big 'uns! (stick-o-butter for scale)

...and had smoked salmon for breakfast!

God, I love Alaska!

Hickster,
Every New Years Eve we have king crab legs, but this year we got delayed a day due to work. But the cookies are out and the legs are ready to go in. At 16.99 a pound we don't have the 5 pound spread you had but they sure look good.

I hope you are getting some snow to go with the great food. It's the middle of winter, and I swear it was 70 degrees here today.

Those crab legs look delicious! I haven't had 'em since summer. Usually plentiful here in NJ...

Had ham with brown sugar/orange juice/pineapple glaze, lasagna, spinach, string bean casserole with Durkee Onions on top (my FAVE!), corn, smashed potatoes, fresh italian bread, pickled artechokes, shoo-fly pie (dad's fave), home made cookies & struffoli.

Marty---You make me hungry. Man, this Christmas and New Years feasts have been something. Expecially, when you have a cook that is something else. Glazed ham, mashed potatoes---I am ready to go again. Bless you all---your friend--Will----sometimes called xydcxrejj--got a dog called Devon

What is shoo-fly pie?

A couple of years ago, our family decided to break with tradition (although after reading this, I've got a hankering for some glazed ham) and do something different every year....last year it was at my sister's and we had Italian. This year, it was at my house and I cooked Mexican food....We had taco salad, tacos and tosadas (make my own shells) with all the fixings, guacamole, taco dip, pico de giao (sp?), artichoke dip (my sister's specialty...she makes it jalapenos and it is delicious!), trays of candies and cookies and then, for dessert, cheesecake with strawberries I had picked last year and frozen.

Paula,

Shoo-fly pie is a molasses/crumb pie that is moderately sweet. Your fillings don't fall out after taking a bite! Its real popular with the Amish folk in Pennsylvania. I usually get a few when my wife & I make a trek out there. Dutch Haven is the store where we buy them (on Rt 30) - they have the best shoo-fly pie found in the Lancaster area IMO.
