I am looking for something that says..."I don't bake much but look what I made just for you my cookie monster".

Something that has lots of colour and maybe chocolate and coconut????

P.S. Mitzi...LOL

And yes I think I'll pass on the chittlins!

Ham for Christmas. Black eyed peas for luck on New Years. Never heard of kraut on New Years. If you have to ask what chittlins are, you don't wanna know.

Hog jowls are the big hunks of fat on a pigs neck, chittlins are pig intestines, cleaned out and deep fried! And no I don't eat either one of them, I was only being humorous!

For New Years I usually celebrate by having a large quantity of beer, you know, to ring in the new year!

[Mitzi]

chittlins, WW, are pig intestines, WW, usualy fried, I think. I have seen them once and NO, I did not try them. YUCK!
I'm not sure what we will have at my parents this year. Last year, Dad tried frying a turkey and it was a disaster. lol But we had ham. This will probably be the last year they will cook. My Dad is 81 and my Mother 74. SO, now it will be up to all of us. It's going to upset my Mother, I know, but dinner was barely edible last year. We are all bringing stuff this year and she isn't going to be happy.
But last year, the only thing really edible was the fruit salad and the desserts! lol
We all filled our plates and when Mother wasn't looking, one by one went and dumped our stuff in the garabage out back then snuck back in with clean plates. lol

This year, I'm brining a 4.75 pound Honeysuckle White whole boneless turkey breast. Honeysuckle White is the only brand that I really like.

We'll probably have a honey glazed ham as well.

We usually have a Xmas eve buffet... home-made sloppy joe, hot roast beef in the crock pot, cold sliced turkey (brought by someone...so i'm not sure the weight lol), dips, smoked salmon, cold peeled shrimp, baked brie, potato salad, hummus, home-made baked beans, and a dessert buffet (god i'm hungry now ). Xmas day we usually had a small turkey and a ham. but the last few years we didnt have an Xmas day dinner. this year we're not doing Christmas due to mom's illness.
