Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Christmas Eve dinners?

Wife's family over tonight. Clam and potato chowder, beef and barley soup, cheese bread(2 kinds), green salad and pies. Breakfast will be sourdough waffles and then off to the inlaws house for ham and tamales.

Merry Christmas to all.

Traditional here. I'm so full of Turkey, dressing, and giblet gravy I could EXPLODE

Original or extra crispy?

Chicken pie, creamed potatoes, green beans, silver queen corn, macaroni and cheese, and candy bar pie. I am heading to the stair master to work some of it off. I had three heaping plates!

Very simple here. Had three of the five grandkiddos over and just had elk salami, homemade cheese ball, crackers, veggies/dip.

Ciopinno and gin here..

Original with biscuit, potatoes and gravy. Side of slaw.

Swedish meatballs, lutefisk, mashed potatoes, lefse and rice pudding for desert.

oysters on the half shell, shrimp cocktail, spiral cut ham,corn casserole,7 layer salad and rolls

Many of my kinfolk will meet somewhere in Southwestern Minn--either Canby or Hanley Falls--maybe Mountevideo. They will eat the exact same meal that Sam Olsen describes. Some of them are even named Olsen. THen they will sit around and see how high they can count in Norwegian.

I will miss the lefsa and absolutely nothing else

It was good stuff - big box with a lot of different kinds of fancy cheeses and the like. Box probably weighed 40lbs. Mom and dad always seemed to have to work Christmas Eve - we'd gorge all day on cookies and sweets anyway. Dinner was the

cheese/sausage/cracker deal until it was time to get ready for Mass.


I worked today till about 3 - still sick but craved the KFC. Sitting home, sucking on some Vicks 44 and surfin the fire. [/quote].

That box must have come from the Hillshire Farms store in Martin Square Mall.

Finger food: salami, cheese and crackers, little meatballs, little individual bite quiche and a cheese dip.

Didn't have much of that, but did my part of killing 2 bottles of Malbec from Mendoza, Argentina. That was really good.

Oyster stew. My family has eaten oyster stew on Christmas Eve for as long as I can remember.

Airport Kiosk says it all

simple venison cheeseburgers

I had some frog legs at the alligator place we visited in Florida.

...or the mental health crisis team.

I'd darn near kill for some GOOD lutefisk! That was our tradition before. ChristmasDay it was pretty much all over said and done with.

This year though it was Thai food X-mas Eve - out with my teenage daughter - no complaints.

Had a nacho today before heading to work the salt mine. Lots of room for improvement!

Shredded chicken and Monterey Jack chimichangas, with freshly grated cheese, sour cream, and hot Rotel. And some ice cold Mike's LITE Hard black cherry lemonade.

Muley shoulder roast, portabellos, onions, celery, Redskins.
