We are having a smaller holiday meal this year again.
The two of us, plus youngest son is coming down the morning of
Christmas Eve.
Christmas Eve has usually been a day of apps, served throughout
the day.
This year, I’ve cut it down to a Pepperoni Roll, roasted red
peppers with honey and feta, sauerkraut balls and deviled eggs.
Oh and cranberry margaritas.
Christmas morning, herbed popovers.
The the main meal - about a month ago we ordered a ham from a
farm that raises a specific type of pig. We got the peppered
version. Plus individual au gratin potatoes, roasted Brussels
sprouts, dill carrots. Will make a horseradish cream sauce and
cherry compote to serve with the ham.

Lasagna, Sunday Gravy, meatballs, sausage, cheesecake.
Just typing that made me feel full.

If you replace the cheesecake with pastries from the Italian
bakery, it's the dinner my mother makes. Plus bread, but I'm
guessing with that meal, the bread goes without saying.

My Italian-American Aunt made a good Christmas lasagna on the
rare occasions she hosted. Hated lasagna until I tasted hers.
(Don't ask, the school made a horrible white lasagna that makes
my stomach churn to this day just thinking of it.) I still
don't make lasagna though. What single person can eat a whole
casserole with a few pounds of pasta in it?

LOL. You know you don't have to make that much, right?

Lasagna is very labor-intensive. Yes, it's almost an moral
obligation to make that much.
Dinner was lamb chops (and none were leftover.) with
mediterranean marinade-- fresh lemon zest and juice, rosemary,
garlic (also slapped in a hint of mint and cumin) cooked
medium-rare. Redjacket potatoes. Spaghetti squash I roasted
yesterday-- only a small amount. Rice made with beef broth and
veg (basically beefaroni without the roni), fruit salad
(orange, raspberry, pineapple, blueberry), and gremolata made
with fresh lemon too. Some chopped heart of palm (high iron and
a bit easier for me to eat than artichoke. I put some of the
liquid in the lamb marinade too.)
And should I digest all that, I'm that much closer to regaining
lost blood. :). I'm pleased although it was grim going
prepping the gremolata and marinade this afternoon for a bit
there.
