O/T - food

so, aside from what we're doing for Christmas, and our schedules with relation to steps - what are ya'll cooking?

Cheddar biscuits sound amazing.
A few years ago DH and I started getting take out from our favorite Szechuan place on Christmas. Our Jewish friends joke about our Jewish Christmas but it is frankly amazing and the kids love it.

DH is roasting a turkey.
I'm doing the sides: baked potatoes, roasted cauliflower and broccoli and gravy.
Served with champagne for adults and water for SDs (they don't drink anything else).
I've got lots of chocolate in the house, chips and other munchies.
Wine, tea, excellent coffee.
Mineral water.
I've made spritz cookies, and will make lemon bars and lemon curd (someone gave me a bunch of lemons). The SDs usually want to make some sugar cookies, but we'll see if they still want to after the lemon cooking extravaganza. I'm betting not.
Might make some bread on Xmas eve if I feel like it.
Xmas day is pancakes with the lemon curd and bacon and eggs.

How is the dinner version made?

OH! dried beef and gravy is what we call that. i love it over biscuits.
dinner version is made with ground meat, cream of something soup, milk to loosen, and worcestershire.. i also prefer it over biscuits, that's when we just refer to it as "that hamburger $#!t" - lol!

Evil Aniki is making NOTHING
Evil Aniki is making NOTHING for Christmas. Not the ham that PrincASS loves, not the broccoli salad the girls love, not the desserts that PigPen loves... not one damn thing. I'll make myself a nice breakfast and spike my coffee with Di Saronno.
BTW, DH doesn't know I'm not cooking. His kids/skids, his problem to resolve. He hasn't asked and I'm keeping mum. He's broke, but I'm 'broker'.

Cocktail, he's mentally and physically exhausted from work. Plus, I believe he's not happy he cannot afford to buy much this year. That's right...the ATM known as Daaaaadddeeeee is broke.
Thank you. I'm only sorry DH
Thank you. I'm only sorry DH is exhausted. The skids can p!ss up a rope, IMHO. If money from DH is all they care about and that's their idea of Christmas, they suck busted clown ass.

Last year I hosted DH's family and mine (separate weekends) for Christmas. I cooked and cooked and cooked some more.
This year I've skipped town. I am in New Orleans visiting friends. DH will arrive Thursday. We are eating in a lovely hotel.

Right now, I'm planning leftover chicken stew with dumplings.
I don't mind not having much of a Christmas spirit (not my religion, and while celebrated, not a big whoop where I live), but I would like to make more of a fuss for DD3. I loved Christmas as a kid - we had snow, grandparents, cookies, egg-nog, Christmas carols... here, I can do cookies. (I could do carols as well, but as an adult, I hate 'em. lol.)
