[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 480116, member: 3907"] Numb, that menu sounds WONDERFUL. I think I'm going to try out your dessert menu for our annual New Years' Eve party. And Malika, we do the whole shebang over again for Christmas in Canada as well. Turkey, stuffing, vegetables, salads, cranberry sauce, the lot. The only difference is that I go crazy with baking around Christmas so there is usually a lot more dessert on the menu. With the Christmas dinner and New Year's Eve party so close together, we try to keep our Christmas Eve menu pretty simple. For the last 5 or 6 years we've had: Jumbo shrimp, usually in thai chili sauce, but sometimes in spicy tomato salsa "Kid Friendly" salad: romaine lettuce, cooked chilled corn, carrot slices, cucumber slices, mozzarella cheese (none of the exotica like olives or pine nuts that I like in my salads), with balsamic vinegar dressing Homemade tortilla chips: tortillas, brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with a favourite spice blend, baked in the oven and then cut into chip shapes Some sort of meat for the carnivores: beef or pork, whatever we have around that can be barbecued. Our BBQ is on the covered back porch, so this is not as great an endeavour as it sounds. Dessert: Whatever recipe I've been experimenting with that needs taste testing. I make a trial batch and try it out on my Monsters. If they like it, picky lot that they are, I know it will pass muster with the rest of the world. [/QUOTE]
