The Chef's Comments:
"Well, once again I am having my family over for Christmas Eve, and my
in-laws over later on for dessert. Unlike last year, though, I put
off planning the darn thing until yesterday ;)
Here's the menu I'm hoping to make, followed by any recipes I haven't
posted here before (if anyone wants any of the other ones, let me know
and I'll post them, too)." - Lisa
