(NF) Whats everyone preparing for New Years Eve dinner?

[Burtess]

For those that are staying in tonight, what are you preparing for New Years Eve dinner?

 

For a lot the tradition would be lobster and steak, but I am deathly allergic to shrimp, lobsters, and the like.

 

We are having our good neighbours over and I am preparing grilled beef tenderloin, baked potato, and butternut squash....

 

What's everybody else having????

homemade mini quiche,sweet and sour meatballs,assorted meats, cheese, crackers,homemade jalapeno poppers,buffalo wing dip and taco dip with tortilla chips, tonnes of homemade baked goods..and that's just the stuff I know about.

 

then beer, more beer, some shots aka whiskey,tequila,wife's homemade irish cream and whatever else is kicking around , that and more beer (have desiganted drivers on the go for the party )

Lobster (thx Roy - they were $6.99 a pound at Sobey's), a mushroom risotto, wilted spinach, some melted butter and garlic. I think there is still some homemade bread around here somewhere. And a bottle of Sigura Viudas Brut Reserve, a $15 bottle that beats the pants off $40 or $50 bottles.

Caribou tenderloin wrapped in bacon on the bbq, spatzle, salad with an incredible homemade maple balsamic dressing, an excellent bottle of Famiglia Anselma Barolo 2000, and a pretty decent chocolate cheesecake that I made with dark Toblerone chocolate.

Here is the photographic evidence.

Just as the juniors game finished up, and with Will safely tucked in bed, Jen and I sat down to this light yet satisfying feast:

Rack of lamb with red wine sauce , roasted garlic mashed potatoes, sautéed green beens and red pepper with roasted slivered almonds.

It was super yummy.

Best wishes to all!

bubbly with a 0 rating. you knowz your stuff.

 

Debbe and I had a nice steak with our 2nd last Acorn squash from my garden prepared with carmalized shallots and a touch of brown sugar and some steamed broccoli with a light almond/garlic sauce. Served with a bottle or 2 of our Fav homemade red. Nothing fancy but a fitting ending to 2008.

 

Happy 2009 to all.

That looks like a meal fit for a king! Our son is currently seeing a young lady from Australia. He has said there lamb is to die for. Having never tried lamb, I am racking my brains trying to figure out a way to get an invite over for supper.

LOL Dog------------------------------------------ bones for them.

 

Wife and kids, sister in law, brother in law, nieces and nephews went` to the bowling alley for the annual Christmas party.

 

I don`t walk well enough to consider bowling, hands shake too much to shoot pool, and certainly don`t need to drink. I get to hang out with my 4 legged friends!

something that isn't too messy coming back up

The kitchen sponge?

[bigugli]

Jen, douG, Radnine and solopaddler. I am so envious of you folks at the moment (insert drooling smiley). Such fine table offerings would be wasted in this household.

Haute cuisine can only be a dinner for one. With almost every meal they smother the food in ketchup.
